About 03LP4CZ

03LP4CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the right vertebral artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other surgical occlusion of vessels, other vessels of head and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.82).

For a different body part, codes include 03L04CZ (right internal mammary artery), 03L14CZ (left internal mammary artery), 03L24CZ (innominate artery), 03L34CZ (right subclavian artery), 03L44CZ (left subclavian artery), 03L54CZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03LP0CZ (open) and 03LP3CZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 03LP4BZ (intraluminal device, bioactive), 03LP4DZ (intraluminal device) and 03LP4ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures” and 2 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
