About X2HM3GB

X2HM3GB is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the ventricular septum using a percutaneous approach with defibrillator lead, lumenless small-diameter (qualifier: new technology group 11). In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

For a different body part, codes include X2HV3GB (right ventricle).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 265 (AICD Lead Procedures) and DRG 275 (Cardiac Defibrillator Implant with Cardiac Catheterization and MCC), under the surgical categories “AICD Lead Procedures” and “Cardiac Defibrillator Implant with Cardiac Catheterization”.

It was added in FY2027, effective October 1, 2026.
