About 0FHG01Z

0FHG01Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the pancreas 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), 0FH401Z (gallbladder), 0FHB01Z (hepatobiliary duct) and 0FHD01Z (pancreatic duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FHG31Z (percutaneous) and 0FHG41Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0FHG02Z (monitoring device), 0FHG03Z (infusion device) and 0FHG0YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 405 (Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures with MCC), DRG 406 (Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures with CC) and DRG 407 (Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Pancreas, Liver and Shunt Procedures”.

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