About 065Y0ZC

065Y0ZC is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the lower vein using an open approach (qualifier: hemorrhoidal plexus). 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 cauterization of hemorrhoids and destruction of hemorrhoids by cryotherapy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (49.43 and 49.44).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 065Y3ZC (percutaneous) and 065Y4ZC (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 347 (Anal and Stomal Procedures with MCC), DRG 348 (Anal and Stomal Procedures with CC) and DRG 349 (Anal and Stomal Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Anal and Stomal Procedures”.

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