5A1522H was replaced in the 2022 ICD-10-PCS code set with the code (s):
ICD-10-PCS Code | Title |
---|---|
5A1522F | Extracorporeal Oxygenation, Membrane, Central |
5A1522G | Extracorporeal Oxygenation, Membrane, Peripheral Veno-arterial |
5A1522H | Extracorporeal Oxygenation, Membrane, Peripheral Veno-venous |
The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).

33953 Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)/ extracorporeal life support (ECLS) provided by physician; insertion of peripheral (arterial and/or venous) cannula(e), open, birth through 5 years of age.
Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) ECLS involves the artificial support of lung and/or heart function using a machine that oxygenates a patient's blood outside the body and returns it using a pump, thus allowing the heart and lungs to rest.
Under the new ICD-10 codes, ECMO performed using a peripheral cannulation method can be reimbursed using MS-DRGs 291, 296, 207, 870, or 215, depending on disease state. ECMO performed centrally will continue to be reimbursed using MS-DRG 003.
296. 870. Cardiac Arrest, Unexplained with MCC or Peripheral Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
There are two types of ECMO, venovenous (VV) and venoarterial (VA) (figure 1 and figure 2 and figure 3). VV ECMO is used in patients with respiratory failure, while VA ECMO is used in patients with cardiac failure.
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (commonly known as ECPR) is a method of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that passes the patient's blood through a machine in a process to oxygenate the blood supply. A portable extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) device is used as an adjunct to standard CPR.
Discontinuing ECMO requires a surgical procedure to remove the tubes. Multiple tests are usually done prior to the discontinuation of ECMO therapy to confirm that your heart and lungs are ready. Once the ECMO cannulas are removed, the vessels will need to be repaired.

DRG 177 (Respiratory infections and inflammations with MCC) and 178 (Respiratory infections and inflammations with CC).
How does ECMO differ from a ventilator? A ventilator moves air in and out of the lungs when you are unable to get enough oxygen on your own. An ECMO machine circulates your blood through a machine to exchange carbon dioxide and deliver oxygen.
One treatment option that is showing promise is the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for COVID-19 patients with severe respiratory distress. By supporting the heart and lungs, the ECMO machine stabilizes patients to allow their body more time to fight the virus.
VA ECMO provides both respiratory and hemodynamic support; the ECMO circuit here is connected in parallel to the heart and lungs, while in VV ECMO the circuit is connected in series to the heart and lungs. During VA ECMO, blood will bypass both the heart and the lungs.

The ECMO machine will remove un-oxygenated blood from the vein through the cannula, add oxygen to the blood, remove carbon dioxide, warm the blood, and return the blood to the heart. At that point, the heart takes over and pumps the oxygenated blood throughout the body, so that the lungs have time to rest and recover.
But in an effort to save more lives, UCSF physicians have begun using the technology earlier and with a broader range of patients than in the past. What distinguishes the use of ECMO at UCSF is the patients we select and the point at which we choose to use it.
releasing yearly updates. These 2021 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021.
5A1522H is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of extracorporeal oxygenation, membrane, peripheral veno-venous. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
9 The ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z92.81 is defined as “Personal history of ECMO”. This code was initiated as a new code effective January 1, 2015 and has not been changed since that time.
The International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) Coordination and Maintenance Committee met in March 2018 and reviewed proposed changes to the ECMO ICD-10-PCS codes which were subsequently approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). 1, 2 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released the fiscal year (FY) 2019 ICD-10, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) changes on October 1, 2018. 3 This includes 45 codes for “Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance and Performance” and 46 codes for Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies”.
In evaluating changes to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10-PCS) codes, which separate ECMO into central and peripheral ECMO, CMS’s clinical advisors determined that because central ECMO is an invasive procedure requiring a sternotomy and direct cannulation carries significant risk for complications, the ICD-10-PCS code for central ECMO would remain classified as an OR (surgical) procedure in MS-DRG 003.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has implemented changes in the Medicare Severity-Diagnosis Related Group (MS-DRG) assignments for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) procedures that will negatively impact reimbursement to hospitals. These modifications were made without any stakeholder input and may result in a decreased reimbursement of 40% to 80% for the affected services.
Extracorporeal oxygenation, membrane, central. VA peripheral ECMO cannulation involves two femoral percutaneous insertions: arterial and venous. The VA ECMO is used when there are problems with both the heart and lungs. This type of ECMO provides respiratory and circulatory support.
A membrane oxygenator is a piece of equipment which acts as a lung to deliver oxygen into the child’s blood. The ECMO circuit acts as an artificial heart and lung for the patient during ECMO therapy. Pumps and oxygenate the blood outside the body, allowing the heart and lungs to rest.
Physicians use ICD-10 CM codes for diagnoses and CPT codes for procedures, regardless of whether the setting is inpatient or outpatient. The ICD-10 CM diagnosis codes are used for claims adjudication. However, for determining Medicare payment, only the CPT procedure codes are used. For Medicare, physician reimbursement is under the RBRVS system. Each CPT code is assigned a unique relative value unit, which is then converted into the payment amount. Medicare has used RBRVS for physician reimbursement since 1992.
Hospitals assign ICD-10 codes for both diagnoses and procedures for inpatient admissions. For Medicare, inpatient hospital reimbursement is under the Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRG) system. For each admission, the ICD-10 diagnosis and procedure codes are grouped into one of over 750 MS-DRGs. Regardless of the number of codes, only one MS-DRG is assigned to the admission. Each MS-DRG has a unique relative weight, which is then converted into the payment amount. Medicare has used the DRG system for hospital inpatient reimbursement since 1983.
C codes do not apply to inpatient surgical procedures such as CABG or valve replacement procedures. C codes are used in conjunction with the Medicare prospective payment system for outpatient procedures (APCs).
