About 05HC03Z

05HC03Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left basilic 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 05H003Z (azygos vein), 05H103Z (hemiazygos vein), 05H303Z (right innominate vein), 05H403Z (left innominate vein), 05H503Z (right subclavian vein), 05H603Z (left subclavian vein) and 19 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05HC33Z (percutaneous) and 05HC43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 05HC0DZ (intraluminal device).

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.
