About 03VG4HZ

03VG4HZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the intracranial artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with intraluminal device, flow diverter. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

For a different body part, codes include 03VH4HZ (right common carotid artery), 03VJ4HZ (left common carotid artery), 03VK4HZ (right internal carotid artery), 03VL4HZ (left internal carotid artery), 03VM4HZ (right external carotid artery), 03VN4HZ (left external carotid artery) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03VG0HZ (open) and 03VG3HZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 03VG4BZ (intraluminal device, bioactive), 03VG4CZ (extraluminal device), 03VG4DZ (intraluminal device) and 03VG4ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 020 (Intracranial Vascular Procedures with Principal Diagnosis Hemorrhage with MCC), DRG 021 (Intracranial Vascular Procedures with Principal Diagnosis Hemorrhage with CC), DRG 022 (Intracranial Vascular Procedures with Principal Diagnosis Hemorrhage without CC/MCC), DRG 023 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis with MCC or Antineoplastic Implant or Epilepsy with Neurostimulator), DRG 024 (Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis without MCC) and DRG 025 (Craniotomy and Endovascular Intracranial Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Intracranial Vascular Procedures with Principal Diagnosis Hemorrhage”, “Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis”, “Craniotomy and endovascular intracranial procedures” and 4 more.

It was added in FY2020, effective October 1, 2019.
