About 04UB37Z
04UB37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the inferior mesenteric artery using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue 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 tissue patch graft, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.56).
For a different body part, codes include 04U037Z (abdominal aorta), 04U137Z (celiac artery), 04U237Z (gastric artery), 04U337Z (hepatic artery), 04U437Z (splenic artery), 04U537Z (superior mesenteric artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04UB07Z (open) and 04UB47Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 04UB3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 04UB3KZ (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.
