About 04RA4JZ
04RA4JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left renal artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to resection of vessel with replacement, abdominal arteries, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.46).
For a different body part, codes include 04R04JZ (abdominal aorta), 04R14JZ (celiac artery), 04R24JZ (gastric artery), 04R34JZ (hepatic artery), 04R44JZ (splenic artery), 04R54JZ (superior mesenteric artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04RA0JZ (open).
With a different device, use 04RA47Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 04RA4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC), DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 673 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with MCC), DRG 674 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with CC) and DRG 675 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures” and “Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
