5A02116Assistance with Cardiac Output using Other Pump, Intermittent

5A02116 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a assistance procedure on the cardiac using an intermittent approach with output (qualifier: other pump). In ICD-10-PCS, assistance means taking over a portion of a physiological function by extracorporeal means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to insertion of percutaneous external heart assist device, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.68).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 5A02216 (continuous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 212 (Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures), DRG 216 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with MCC), DRG 217 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with CC), DRG 218 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization without CC/MCC), DRG 219 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with MCC) and DRG 220 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with CC), under the surgical categories “Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures”, “” and “Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization”.

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