About 075L0ZZ
075L0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the cisterna chyli using an open 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 thoracic duct, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (40.69).
For a different body part, codes include 07500ZZ (lymphatic, head), 07510ZZ (lymphatic, right neck), 07520ZZ (lymphatic, left neck), 07530ZZ (lymphatic, right upper extremity), 07540ZZ (lymphatic, left upper extremity), 07550ZZ (lymphatic, right axillary) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 075L3ZZ (percutaneous) and 075L4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC) and DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Major Chest Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
