38.26 — Insertion of implantable pressure sensor without lead for intracardiac or great vessel hemodynamic monitoring
About ICD-9-CM 38.26
38.26 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for insertion of implantable pressure sensor without lead for intracardiac or great vessel hemodynamic monitoring. 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 9 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 02HL00Z (Insertion of Pressure Sensor Monitoring Device into Left Ventricle, Open Approach), 02HL30Z (Insertion of Pressure Sensor Monitoring Device into Left Ventricle, Percutaneous Approach) and 02HL40Z (Insertion of Pressure Sensor Monitoring Device into Left Ventricle, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
