About 065P3ZZ

065P3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right saphenous vein using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision of vessels, lower limb veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.69).

For a different body part, codes include 06503ZZ (inferior vena cava), 06513ZZ (splenic vein), 06523ZZ (gastric vein), 06533ZZ (esophageal vein), 06543ZZ (hepatic vein), 06553ZZ (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 065P0ZZ (open) and 065P4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 263 (Vein Ligation and Stripping), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Vein Ligation and Stripping”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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