About 05PY0YZ

05PY0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the upper vein using an open approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

With a different device, use 05PY00Z (drainage device), 05PY02Z (monitoring device), 05PY03Z (infusion device), 05PY07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 05PY0CZ (extraluminal device), 05PY0DZ (intraluminal device) and 2 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Vascular Procedures”.
