About 05H003Z
05H003Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the azygos vein using an open approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified and venous cutdown, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (38.93 and 38.94).
For a different body part, codes include 05H103Z (hemiazygos vein), 05H303Z (right innominate vein), 05H403Z (left innominate vein), 05H503Z (right subclavian vein), 05H603Z (left subclavian vein), 05H703Z (right axillary vein) and 19 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05H033Z (percutaneous) and 05H043Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 05H002Z (monitoring device), 05H00DZ (intraluminal device) and 05H00MZ (neurostimulator lead).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
