About 06L30CZ

06L30CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the esophageal vein using an open approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other surgical occlusion of vessels, abdominal veins and ligation of esophageal varices, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (38.87 and 42.91).

For a different body part, codes include 06L00CZ (inferior vena cava), 06L10CZ (splenic vein), 06L20CZ (gastric vein), 06L40CZ (hepatic vein), 06L50CZ (superior mesenteric vein), 06L60CZ (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06L33CZ (percutaneous), 06L34CZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 06L37CZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 06L38CZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 06L30DZ (intraluminal device) and 06L30ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC), DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

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