About 05H032Z

05H032Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the azygos vein using a percutaneous approach with monitoring device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of 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 05HY32Z (upper vein).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05H002Z (open) and 05H042Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 05H033Z (infusion device), 05H03DZ (intraluminal device) and 05H03MZ (neurostimulator lead).

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 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures” and “Other Vascular Procedures”.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
