About 06Q03ZZ

06Q03ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the inferior vena cava using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to suture of vein, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.32).

For a different body part, codes include 06Q13ZZ (splenic vein), 06Q23ZZ (gastric vein), 06Q33ZZ (esophageal vein), 06Q43ZZ (hepatic vein), 06Q53ZZ (superior mesenteric vein), 06Q63ZZ (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06Q00ZZ (open) and 06Q04ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
