About 06DN0ZZ

06DN0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the left femoral vein using an open 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 06DM0ZZ (right femoral vein), 06DP0ZZ (right saphenous vein), 06DQ0ZZ (left saphenous vein), 06DT0ZZ (right foot vein), 06DV0ZZ (left foot vein) and 06DY0ZZ (lower vein).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06DN3ZZ (percutaneous) and 06DN4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
