About 07PL4YZ
07PL4YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the cisterna chyli 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 other operations on thoracic duct, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (40.69).
For a different body part, codes include 07PK4YZ (thoracic duct), 07PM4YZ (thymus), 07PN4YZ (lymphatic) and 07PP4YZ (spleen).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07PL0YZ (open) and 07PL3YZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 07PL40Z (drainage device), 07PL43Z (infusion device), 07PL47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 07PL4CZ (extraluminal device), 07PL4DZ (intraluminal device), 07PL4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 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.
