About 05HY02Z

05HY02Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the upper vein using an open approach with monitoring 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 incision of vessel, other vessels of head and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.02).

For a different body part, codes include 05H002Z (azygos vein).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 05HY32Z (percutaneous) and 05HY42Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 05HY03Z (infusion device), 05HY0DZ (intraluminal device) and 05HY0YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures” and 3 more.

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