About 06PY4YZ
06PY4YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the lower vein using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of vessel, lower limb veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.09).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06PY0YZ (open) and 06PY3YZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 06PY40Z (drainage device), 06PY42Z (monitoring device), 06PY43Z (infusion device), 06PY47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 06PY4CZ (extraluminal device), 06PY4DZ (intraluminal device) and 2 more.
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
