About 04U03JZ

04U03JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the abdominal aorta using a percutaneous approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of blood vessel with synthetic patch graft and endovascular implantation of other graft in abdominal aorta, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (39.57 and 39.71).

For a different body part, codes include 04U13JZ (celiac artery), 04U23JZ (gastric artery), 04U33JZ (hepatic artery), 04U43JZ (splenic artery), 04U53JZ (superior mesenteric artery), 04U63JZ (right colic artery) and 24 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04U00JZ (open) and 04U04JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 04U037Z (autologous tissue substitute), 04U03KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 04U03LZ (intraluminal device, endovascular anchors).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 268 (Aortic and Heart Assist Procedures Except Pulsation Balloon with MCC), DRG 269 (Aortic and Heart Assist Procedures Except Pulsation Balloon without MCC), DRG 673 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with MCC), DRG 674 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with CC), DRG 675 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Aortic and Heart Assist Procedures Except Pulsation Balloon”, “Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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