About 03QP4ZZ
03QP4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right vertebral artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
In plain terms, this corresponds to suture of artery, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.31).
For a different body part, codes include 03Q04ZZ (right internal mammary artery), 03Q14ZZ (left internal mammary artery), 03Q24ZZ (innominate artery), 03Q34ZZ (right subclavian artery), 03Q44ZZ (left subclavian artery), 03Q54ZZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03QP0ZZ (open) and 03QP3ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 037 (Extracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 038 (Extracranial Procedures with CC), DRG 039 (Extracranial Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Extracranial Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
