02HK0KZ ICD-10-PCS Code: Insertion of Defibrillator Lead into Right Ventricle, Open Approach
Insertion of Defib Lead into R Ventricle, Open Approach
Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body System2 | Heart and Great Vessels |
| 3 | Root OperationH | Insertion 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 |
| 4 | Body PartK | Ventricle, Right |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | DeviceK | Cardiac Lead, Defibrillator |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 1 MS-DRG:
- MDC 05 — AICD Lead Procedures: DRG 265
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
