About X2H13XB

X2H13XB is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the superior vena cava using a percutaneous approach with temporary phrenic nerve/diaphragm stimulation electrodes (qualifier: new technology group 11). 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.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC) and DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), under the surgical category “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”.
