About 06L03ZZ

06L03ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the inferior vena cava using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Interruption of the vena cava, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.7).

For a different body part, codes include 06L13ZZ (splenic vein), 06L23ZZ (gastric vein), 06L33ZZ (esophageal vein), 06L43ZZ (hepatic vein), 06L53ZZ (superior mesenteric vein), 06L63ZZ (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06L00ZZ (open) and 06L04ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 06L03CZ (extraluminal device) and 06L03DZ (intraluminal device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures” and 11 more.

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