About 061309Y

061309Y is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the esophageal vein using an open approach with autologous venous tissue (qualifier: lower vein). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other (peripheral) vascular shunt or bypass, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.29).

For a different body part, codes include 061009Y (inferior vena cava), 061109Y (splenic vein), 061209Y (gastric vein), 061409Y (hepatic vein), 061509Y (superior mesenteric vein), 061609Y (inferior mesenteric vein) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 061349Y (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 061307Y (autologous tissue substitute), 06130AY (autologous arterial tissue), 06130JY (synthetic substitute), 06130KY (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 06130ZY (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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 category “Other Vascular Procedures”.

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