ICD-10-PCS Code For Innominate Artery: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 03L2 includes procedures performed to completely close the lumen or orifice of the innominate artery in the upper arteries. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician intentionally occludes the innominate artery to control bleeding, exclude an aneurysm, or eliminate flow to a diseased segment. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 03L2 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific occlusion procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Innominate Artery Occlusion Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve completely closing the lumen or an orifice of the innominate artery to stop blood flow to a targeted area. These interventions target the upper arteries and are performed to control hemorrhage, exclude an aneurysm, or eliminate flow to a diseased segment. Accurate coding of these occlusion procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the definitive operative action on a major arterial vessel and influences case mix and payment.
