About 07544ZZ

07544ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the lymphatic, left upper extremity using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on lymphatic structures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (40.9).

For a different body part, codes include 07504ZZ (lymphatic, head), 07514ZZ (lymphatic, right neck), 07524ZZ (lymphatic, left neck), 07534ZZ (lymphatic, right upper extremity), 07554ZZ (lymphatic, right axillary), 07564ZZ (lymphatic, left axillary) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07540ZZ (open) and 07543ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 802 (Other O.R. Procedures of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs with MCC), DRG 803 (Other O.R. Procedures of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs with CC), DRG 804 (Other O.R. Procedures of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs without CC/MCC), DRG 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 821 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 822 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other O.R. Procedures of the Blood and Blood Forming Organs”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures”, “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures” and 1 more.
