About 06HY42Z

06HY42Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the lower vein using a percutaneous endoscopic 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, lower limb veins, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.09).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06HY02Z (open) and 06HY32Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 06HY43Z (infusion device), 06HY4DZ (intraluminal device) and 06HY4YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 263 (Vein Ligation and Stripping), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Vein Ligation and Stripping”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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