About 6A151ZZ

6A151ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a decompression procedure on the circulatory using a multiple approach with no qualifier. In ICD-10-PCS, decompression means extracorporeal elimination of undissolved gas from body fluids.

In plain terms, this corresponds to decompression chamber, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (93.97).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 6A150ZZ (single).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
