About the X2K Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Bypass (Character X2K) in the New Technology section refers to creating an alternate pathway to redirect blood flow around a blocked or narrowed cardiovascular vessel. This operation restores proper circulation without removing or directly repairing the original vessel.
Examples of this root operation include bypassing arteries such as the Right Radial Artery or Left Radial Artery using advanced methods like Thermal Resistance Energy with a Percutaneous Approach (codes X2KB317 and X2KC317). More complex bypasses involve using a conduit through the Femoral Vein to target vessels like the Superficial Femoral Artery or Popliteal Artery on either side, also performed percutaneously with codes such as X2KH3D9 or X2KJ3E9. These new technology bypass codes capture innovative techniques in cardiovascular interventions that enhance the precision and outcomes of blood flow restoration procedures.
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Bypass (code X2K) involves creating an alternate pathway to reroute the flow of blood or other bodily fluids around a blocked or impaired segment. This operation is classified under the New Technology section, focusing primarily on cardiovascular interventions using innovative approaches.
Within this category, examples include bypassing arteries such as the Right and Left Radial Artery using Thermal Resistance Energy through a Percutaneous Approach (codes X2KB317 and X2KC317). Additionally, more complex bypass procedures reroute blood flow via a conduit through the Femoral Vein to arteries like the Superficial Femoral Artery or Popliteal Artery on either side, also performed percutaneously (codes X2KH3D9, X2KH3E9, X2KJ3D9, and X2KJ3E9). These detailed ICD-10-PCS bypass codes allow precise documentation of advanced cardiovascular interventions using emerging technologies, supporting accurate clinical coding and treatment descriptions.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the X2K range?
Of the 8 codes in this range, 7 are billable and valid for inpatient claim submission from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Table header codes group them but cannot be reported on claims.
What does the X2K range classify?
The range classifies Bypass procedures, altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part, performed on the cardiovascular system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
