About 07D68ZX

07D68ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the lymphatic, left axillary using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to biopsy of lymphatic structure, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (40.11).

For a different body part, codes include 07D08ZX (lymphatic, head), 07D18ZX (lymphatic, right neck), 07D28ZX (lymphatic, left neck), 07D38ZX (lymphatic, right upper extremity), 07D48ZX (lymphatic, left upper extremity), 07D58ZX (lymphatic, right axillary) and 12 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07D63ZX (percutaneous) and 07D64ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
