ICD-10-PCS Code For Heart: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 02UA includes procedures performed to supplement structures in the heart. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when biological or synthetic material is placed on or in the heart to reinforce or augment its function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 02UA group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific supplement procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Heart Supplement Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve placing biological or synthetic material on or into the heart to reinforce or augment cardiac structures and their function. These supplemental implants target the heart and great vessels within the medical and surgical section and are typically performed during inpatient cardiothoracic procedures. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these supplement operations ensures the inpatient record reflects the device or material placed, which affects case mix assignment and payment.

When to Use

Use codes from this group when biological or synthetic material is intentionally placed on or into the heart to support or augment cardiac structures. These codes apply when the primary action during the inpatient encounter is the placement of a supplement rather than removal or replacement.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular dilation is admitted electively for surgical ventricular restoration to reduce ventricular size and reinforce the weakened myocardial wall. During the open-heart procedure, a patch or scaffold made of synthetic material is placed onto the heart to augment wall integrity and prevent further aneurysmal dilation; the operation is planned, performed under cardiopulmonary bypass, and documented as a supplement to the heart. Typical codes: 02UA0JZ, 02UA07Z
A middle-aged patient presents emergently after blunt chest trauma with localized myocardial contusion and a small cardiac wall defect causing contained hemorrhage; the patient is taken to the operating room for urgent open repair and reinforcement of the injured heart tissue. Surgeons place a biologic (autologous or nonautologous) patch over the defect to physically reinforce the heart wall and control bleeding, necessitating inpatient coding for the supplemental material placed on the heart. Typical codes: 02UA07Z, 02UA0KZ
A patient with prior minimally invasive mitral valve surgery develops late dehiscence at the repair site with recurrent structural weakness identified on follow-up; during a percutaneous endoscopic reintervention, surgeons place a synthetic scaffold onto the affected cardiac region to augment tissue support without performing a full open redo sternotomy. The procedure is performed inpatient using a percutaneous endoscopic approach to supplement the heart structure and stabilize function. Typical codes: 02UA4JZ, 02UA4KZ
