About 0FH401Z

0FH401Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the gallbladder using an open approach with radioactive element. 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.

For a different body part, codes include 0FH001Z (liver), 0FHB01Z (hepatobiliary duct), 0FHD01Z (pancreatic duct) and 0FHG01Z (pancreas).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FH431Z (percutaneous) and 0FH441Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0FH402Z (monitoring device), 0FH403Z (infusion device) and 0FH40YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 408 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with MCC), DRG 409 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with CC) and DRG 410 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E.”.

It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
