03F53Z0 PCS Table

In an PCS table each code is represented by up seven alphanumeric characters, with each character in the table respresenting different aspects of the procedure. In the table provided below, each row represents an individual character and includes information about the character's position, designation, label, and procedure notes. For this PCS table the procedure code is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the upper arteries body system, classified under fragmentation operation. The applicable bodypart for this procedure code is axillary artery, right.

Position	Designation	Character	Label	Procedures Notes
1	Section	0	Medical and Surgical
2	Body System	3	Upper Arteries
3	Operation	F	Fragmentation	Involves: Breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces Explanation: Physical force (e.g., manual, ultrasonic) applied directly or indirectly is used to break the solid matter into pieces. The solid matter may be an abnormal byproduct of a biological function or a foreign body. The pieces of solid matter are not taken out Includes: Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, transurethral lithotripsy
4	BodyPart	5	Axillary Artery, Right	Includes: Anterior circumflex humeral artery Lateral thoracic artery Posterior circumflex humeral artery Subscapular artery Superior thoracic artery Thoracoacromial artery
5	Approach	3	Percutaneous	Involves: Entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure
6	Device	Z	No Device	Explanation: The value Z is used for the sixth character to indicate that a specific device does not apply to the procedure.
7	Qualifier	0	Ultrasonic

03F53Z0 is grouped with Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a classification system used to group together procedures for the purpose of reimbursement and healthcare management. DRGs are used to standardize the way hospitals and other providers are paid for inpatient services. In this system patients are grouped together based on the primary procedure being performed. Once a patient is assigned a particular group, providers receive a predetermined payment rate for the services rendered. This reimbursement rate is often fixed and is meant to cover the cost of care associated with a particular procedure. Reimbursement is also affected by the relative weight of a diagnostic related group based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Diagnostic related groups encourage healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency in patient care while managing costs effectively. The procedure code 03F53Z0 is present in the following groups for version MS-DRG V41.0 applicable from 10/01/2023 through 09/30/2024.

MS-DRG	MS-DRG Title	MCD	Relative Weight
252	OTHER VASCULAR PROCEDURES WITH MCC	05	3.3538
253	OTHER VASCULAR PROCEDURES WITH CC	05	2.5511
254	OTHER VASCULAR PROCEDURES WITHOUT CC/MCC	05	1.7351
278	ULTRASOUND ACCELERATED AND OTHER THROMBOLYSIS OF PERIPHERAL VASCULAR STRUCTURES WITH MCC	05	4.4604
279	ULTRASOUND ACCELERATED AND OTHER THROMBOLYSIS OF PERIPHERAL VASCULAR STRUCTURES WITHOUT MCC	05	3.2006

What is ICD-10-PCS?

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. The 2024 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals. The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
