About 05P002Z

05P002Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the azygos vein using an open approach with monitoring device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device 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 05PY02Z (upper vein).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05P032Z (percutaneous), 05P042Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 05P0X2Z (external).

With a different device, use 05P00MZ (neurostimulator lead).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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