About 06B93ZX

06B93ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right renal vein using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to biopsy of blood vessel, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.21).

For a different body part, codes include 06B03ZX (inferior vena cava), 06B13ZX (splenic vein), 06B23ZX (gastric vein), 06B33ZX (esophageal vein), 06B43ZX (hepatic vein), 06B53ZX (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06B90ZX (open) and 06B94ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
