About 07QL8ZZ
07QL8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the cisterna chyli using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
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 07Q08ZZ (lymphatic, head), 07Q18ZZ (lymphatic, right neck), 07Q28ZZ (lymphatic, left neck), 07Q38ZZ (lymphatic, right upper extremity), 07Q48ZZ (lymphatic, left upper extremity), 07Q58ZZ (lymphatic, right axillary) and 12 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07QL0ZZ (open), 07QL3ZZ (percutaneous) and 07QL4ZZ (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 was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
