About 05HL33Z
05HL33Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the intracranial vein using a percutaneous approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to venous catheterization, not elsewhere classified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.93).
For a different body part, codes include 05H033Z (azygos vein), 05H133Z (hemiazygos vein), 05H333Z (right innominate vein), 05H433Z (left innominate vein), 05H533Z (right subclavian vein), 05H633Z (left subclavian vein) and 19 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05HL03Z (open) and 05HL43Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 05HL3DZ (intraluminal device).
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.
