About 05C14ZZ
05C14ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the hemiazygos vein using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of vessel, other thoracic vessels, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.05).
For a different body part, codes include 05C04ZZ (azygos vein), 05C34ZZ (right innominate vein), 05C44ZZ (left innominate vein), 05C54ZZ (right subclavian vein), 05C64ZZ (left subclavian vein), 05C74ZZ (right axillary vein) and 19 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05C10ZZ (open) and 05C13ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures” and “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
