About the 05C Code Range

These procedures remove solid matter from upper veins. The matter may be a biological byproduct or a foreign body, either inside a vein or embedded in it.

The fourth character names the vein, including face, jugular, arm and hand veins, and distinguishes right from left where listed. The fifth records an open approach, entry through a puncture or small incision, or that same entry with a scope. The sixth character is No Device, and the seventh is No Qualifier.
