2016 2017 2018 2019 Billable/Specific Code POA Exempt. Z45.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Encounter for adjustment and management of VAD. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Z45.2 became effective on October 1, 2018.
One challenging coding area with the ICD-10 transition is the coding of venous and arterial lines and catheters. This article aims to provide greater clarity with regard to procedure coding tips for coding of venous catheters.
The coding advice may or may not be outdated. Would Z45.2 (encounter for adjustment and management of vascular access device) be an appropriate ICD-10 code for the placement of central line (36556) or arterial line (36620)? One source says that these are appropriate, while another one does not define this diagnosis as including placement.
Arterial Line - (also known as: a-line or art-line) a thin catheter inserted into an artery; most commonly radial, ulnar, brachial, or dorsalis pedis artery. Most frequent care settings are intensive care unit or anesthesia when frequent blood draws or blood pressure monitoring are needed.
Answer:#N#A peritoneal port-a-cath is a small reservoir that is surgically implanted into the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen. The device can be used to deliver antineoplastic medications, or withdraw excessive fluid from the peritoneal cavity through a catheter connected to the port. In this case the port is being inserted into the abdominal subcutaneous tissue and fascia, not the chest wall. Two codes are assigned, one for the catheter and the other for the peritoneal port. Since ICD-10-PCS does not provide a specific code for the insertion of the peritoneal port, the closest available equivalent is “Insertion of reservoir into abdomen subcutaneous tissue and fascia.” Assign the following ICD-10-PCS codes: 1 0WHG33Z Insertion of infusion device into peritoneal cavity, percutaneous approach, for the catheter insertion 2 0JH80WZ Insertion of reservoir into abdomen subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach, for insertion of the peritoneal port
