Based on ICD-10-PCS guidelines, code 4A133B1 reports insertion of an arterial line for continuous physiological monitoring. This is not an OR procedure that will shift your DRG.
The device has a small reservoir, but it does not function as a reservoir to store medicine during the course of therapy. Assign the ICD-10-PCS code as follows: 0JH63XZ Insertion of vascular access device into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach.
Some are saying to code the "device" as well (03H (Upper arteries) or the 04H (Lower arteries) table), by adding this code, the DRG changes significantly to and OR procedure. My concern is that the "device" is not being inserted into the body of the patient. The procedure, itself, only reflects the insertion of the arterial line.

ICD-10-PCS Code 0CJS8ZZ - Inspection of Larynx, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic - Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10-PCS Code GZB2ZZZ - Electroconvulsive Therapy, Bilateral-Single Seizure - Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10-PCS Code BP0YZZZ - Plain Radiography of Left Ribs - Codify by AAPC.
The root operation is the third character in the PCS code and describes the intent or the objective of the procedure. The majority of PCS codes reported for the inpatient setting are found in the Medical and Surgical section of ICD-10-PCS.
This article continues the Journal of AHIMA's exploration of the different sections of ICD-10-PCS, focusing on the six Ancillary sections. These sections include imaging, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, physical rehabilitation and diagnostic audiology, mental health, and substance abuse treatment.
Overview. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a procedure, done under general anesthesia, in which small electric currents are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure. ECT seems to cause changes in brain chemistry that can quickly reverse symptoms of certain mental health conditions.

Example of an ICD-10-PCS code Here is an example of what an ICD-10-PCS code looks like: 047K0ZZ. This is the ICD-10-PCS code for the dilation of a right femoral artery using an open approach.
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Question: When coding the placement of an infusion device such as a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line), the code assignment for the body part is based on the site in which the device ended up (end placement). For coding purposes, can imaging reports be used to determine the end placement of the device?
Question: ...venous access port. An incision was made in the anterior chest wall and a subcutaneous pocket was created. The catheter was advanced into the vein, tunneled under the skin and attached to the port, which was anchored in the subcutaneous pocket. The incision was closed in layers.
Question: In Coding Clinic, Fourth Quarter 2013, pages 116- 117, information was published about the device character for the insertion of a totally implantable central venous access device (port-a-cath). Although we agree with the device value, the approach value is inaccurate.
Question: A patient diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer underwent placement of an intraperitoneal port-a-catheter during total abdominal hysterectomy. An incision on the costal margin in the midclavicular line on the right side was made, and a pocket was formed. A port was then inserted within the pocket and secured with stitches.
Question: The patient has a malfunctioning right internal jugular tunneled catheter. At surgery, the old catheter was removed and a new one placed. Under ultrasound guidance, the jugular was cannulated; the cuff of the old catheter was dissected out; and the entire catheter removed.
