ICD-10-PCS Code For Hepatic Artery: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 04H3 includes procedures performed to insert nonbiological appliances in the hepatic artery. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a device is percutaneously placed in the hepatic artery to monitor or assist vascular or hepatic function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 04H3 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Hepatic Artery Insertion Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve the percutaneous insertion of nonbiological appliances into the hepatic artery and target the lower arterial system supplying the liver. These procedures place devices that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent physiological functions without replacing a body part. Accurate coding to the correct body system and operation is important for inpatient reimbursement and ensures the procedure is represented in the medical record and billing.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old patient with metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver is admitted for planned intra-arterial chemotherapy infusion port placement to deliver regional hepatic chemotherapy. The catheter-based infusion device is placed into the hepatic artery percutaneously to allow repeated administration of chemotherapeutic agents directly to the liver. The procedure is performed electively under imaging guidance to establish long-term intrahepatic arterial access. Typical codes: 04H333Z
A 48-year-old presents emergently with massive hepatic artery bleeding after a traumatic liver laceration. Interventional radiology performs percutaneous placement of an intraluminal device to tamponade bleeding and restore arterial hemostasis while preserving hepatic perfusion. The minimally invasive percutaneous approach is chosen to rapidly control hemorrhage in the inpatient setting. Typical codes: 04H33DZ
A 70-year-old with an existing open surgical infusion catheter into the hepatic artery develops device malposition and malfunction. The patient is taken to the operating room for open replacement of the infusion device; the original appliance is removed and a new infusion device is inserted into the hepatic artery via an open approach to re-establish reliable arterial access for therapy. Typical codes: 04H303Z
