37.62 — Insertion of temporary non-implantable extracorporeal circulatory assist device
About ICD-9-CM 37.62
37.62 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for insertion of temporary non-implantable extracorporeal circulatory assist device. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 5 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 02HA0RZ (Insertion of Short-term External Heart Assist System into Heart, Open Approach), 02HA3RZ (Insertion of Short-term External Heart Assist System into Heart, Percutaneous Approach) and 02HA4RZ (Insertion of Short-term External Heart Assist System into Heart, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
