About 06BY4ZZ

06BY4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the lower vein using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to resection of vessel with anastomosis, unspecified site and other excision of vessels, unspecified site, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (38.30 and 38.60).

For a different body part, codes include 06B04ZZ (inferior vena cava), 06B14ZZ (splenic vein), 06B24ZZ (gastric vein), 06B34ZZ (esophageal vein), 06B44ZZ (hepatic vein), 06B54ZZ (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06BY0ZZ (open) and 06BY3ZZ (percutaneous).

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), DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
