About 06QY0ZZ

06QY0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the lower vein using an open 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 06Q00ZZ (inferior vena cava), 06Q10ZZ (splenic vein), 06Q20ZZ (gastric vein), 06Q30ZZ (esophageal vein), 06Q40ZZ (hepatic vein), 06Q50ZZ (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06QY3ZZ (percutaneous) and 06QY4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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), DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 357 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 358 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures” and 4 more.

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