About 04U44JZ
04U44JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the splenic artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of blood vessel with synthetic patch graft, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.57).
For a different body part, codes include 04U04JZ (abdominal aorta), 04U14JZ (celiac artery), 04U24JZ (gastric artery), 04U34JZ (hepatic artery), 04U54JZ (superior mesenteric artery), 04U64JZ (right colic artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04U40JZ (open) and 04U43JZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 04U447Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 04U44KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC), DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
