About 4A103KD

4A103KD is the ICD-10-PCS code for a monitoring procedure on the central nervous using a percutaneous approach with temperature (qualifier: intracranial). In ICD-10-PCS, monitoring means determining the level of a physiological or physical function repetitively over a period of time.

In plain terms, this corresponds to brain temperature monitoring, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (01.17).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 4A107KD (via natural or artificial opening) and 4A108KD (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 4A103BD (pressure) and 4A103RD (saturation).

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.
