About 06RT0KZ

06RT0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right foot vein using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to resection of vessel with replacement, lower limb veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.49).

For a different body part, codes include 06R00KZ (inferior vena cava), 06R10KZ (splenic vein), 06R20KZ (gastric vein), 06R30KZ (esophageal vein), 06R40KZ (hepatic vein), 06R50KZ (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06RT4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 06RT07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 06RT0JZ (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 263 (Vein Ligation and Stripping), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Vein Ligation and Stripping”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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