About 06DM4ZZ
06DM4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the right femoral vein using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.
In plain terms, this corresponds to ligation and stripping of varicose veins, lower limb veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.59).
For a different body part, codes include 06DN4ZZ (left femoral vein), 06DP4ZZ (right saphenous vein), 06DQ4ZZ (left saphenous vein), 06DT4ZZ (right foot vein), 06DV4ZZ (left foot vein) and 06DY4ZZ (lower vein).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06DM0ZZ (open) and 06DM3ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 263 (Vein Ligation and Stripping), under the surgical category “Vein Ligation and Stripping”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
