About 04BA0ZZ
04BA0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left renal artery using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to resection of vessel with anastomosis, abdominal arteries and other excision of vessels, abdominal arteries, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (38.36 and 38.66).
For a different body part, codes include 04B00ZZ (abdominal aorta), 04B10ZZ (celiac artery), 04B20ZZ (gastric artery), 04B30ZZ (hepatic artery), 04B40ZZ (splenic artery), 04B50ZZ (superior mesenteric artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04BA3ZZ (percutaneous) and 04BA4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC), DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures” and 2 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
