The IABP is not coded as a device within ICD-10-PCS and is coded with the root operation of “Assistance.” The ICD-10-PCS code for insertion of an IABP for continuous pumping would be 5A02210, Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance, Physiologic Systems, Assistance, Cardiac, Continuous, Output, Balloon Pump.
For a hemodialysis catheter, the appropriate code is Z49. 01 (Encounter for fitting and adjustment of extracorporeal dialysis catheter). For any other CVC, code Z45. 2 (Encounter for adjustment and management of vascular access device) should be assigned.

A Permacath insertion is the placement of a special IV line into the blood vessel in your neck or upper chest just under the collarbone. This type of catheter is used for short-term dialysis treatment. The catheter is then threaded into the right side of your heart (right atrium).

Z45.2 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of encounter for adjustment and management of vascular access device. The code Z45.2 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code Z45.2:
Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission. Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. Clinically undetermined - unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission.
Z45.2 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.

Z95.811 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of presence of heart assist device. The code Z95.811 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code Z95.811 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like left ventricular assist device present, patient on circulatory assist or patient on intra-aortic balloon pump assist. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.#N#The code Z95.811 describes a circumstance which influences the patient's health status but not a current illness or injury. The code is unacceptable as a principal diagnosis.

The CPT codes for inserting an extracorporeal VAD are CPT codes 33975 and 33976. CPT 33975 is coded if a VAD supporting only one of the ventricles is inserted while CPT 33976 is coded if a VAD supporting both ventricles is inserted.
The CPT codes for inserting a percutaneous VAD are CPT codes 33990 or 33991. CPT 33990 is coded when an artery is accessed to place the VAD. CPT 33991 is coded when both an artery and a vein are accessed to place the VAD. CPT 33991 also includes a transseptal puncture “when performed.” This means you may still code CPT 33991 if both an artery and vein are accessed to place the VAD and no transseptal puncture is required, but you should not add a code like CPT 93462 to report a transseptal puncture when one is required since this work is already included in CPT 33991.
The CPT code for inserting an intracorporeal VAD is CPT 33979. Unlike extracorporeal VADs, we do not have two different CPT codes to report devices that support a single ventricle vs those that support both ventricles. CPT 33979 is written for a “single ventricle” device. Intracorporeal VADs are most often placed to support only one ventricle, but in very sick patients, particularly those waiting for transplants, you may see an intracorporeal LVAD placed followed by an intracorporeal RVAD. If intracorporeal VADs are placed to support both ventricles, report C PT 33979 and then 33979 again with modifier 59 to represent the two devices inserted.
Examples of common intracorporeal VADs are the Heart Mate II, the Heart Mate III, and the Heart Ware device. There are different CPT codes for inserting and removing the different types of VADs listed above. In some cases, there are codes for repositioning or replacing parts of the device as well.
A VAD placed to support both ventricles of the heart is sometimes referred to as a biventricular VAD or a BIVAD for short. There are different types of VADs that can be implanted depending on the patient’s condition and the amount of time the patient is expected to need support from the VAD.
A VAD can be placed to support the left ventricle, the right ventricle, or both. A VAD placed to support the left ventricle is sometimes referred to as an LVAD for short while a VAD placed to support the right ventricle is sometimes referred to as an RVAD for short.
An extracorporeal VAD is inserted through a more invasive open approach. The surgeon creates a sternotomy or a thoracotomy and inserts what are called “cannulas” (tubes that allow the blood to flow out of the body and into the VAD which then helps to circulate blood back into and through the entire body).
