About 0FHB81Z

0FHB81Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the hepatobiliary duct using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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.

In plain terms, this corresponds to implantation or insertion of radioactive elements, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.27).

For a different body part, codes include 0FHD81Z (pancreatic duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FHB01Z (open), 0FHB31Z (percutaneous), 0FHB41Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0FHB71Z (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0FHB82Z (monitoring device), 0FHB83Z (infusion device), 0FHB8DZ (intraluminal device) and 0FHB8YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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 category “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
