• Excludes:

  • Pacemaker insertion, temporary

  • For nephrostomy tube placement use Nephrostomy placement from CCI Picklist.

• Use this code for devices for which any part in the body. Contrary to what Allan said before, it does NOT have to be entirely in the body.
• Code this for such devices for which there is not a picklist option.
  • Example: for PEG tube you combine this "what was done" code with the "body part" code: (T) Stomach, Pylorus
  • Example: for VAD you combine this "what was done" code with the "body part" code: (T) Cardiac ventricle
    • If the patient already has a VAD from a previous admission you can use Heart assist device, has one in ICD 10 diagnosis.
