About 0BHT3MZ

0BHT3MZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the diaphragm using a percutaneous approach with diaphragmatic pacemaker lead. 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 implantation of diaphragmatic pacemaker, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.85).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0BHT0MZ (open) and 0BHT4MZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0BHT32Z (monitoring device) and 0BHT3YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest 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 “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
