About 5A1213Z

5A1213Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a performance procedure on the cardiac using an intermittent approach with pacing. In ICD-10-PCS, performance means completely taking over a physiological function by extracorporeal means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to insertion of temporary transvenous pacemaker system and intraoperative cardiac pacemaker, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (37.78 and 39.64).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 5A1223Z (continuous).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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