ICD-10-PCS 055 Medical and Surgical: Upper Veins Destruction

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Destruction (code range starting with 055) refers to the deliberate termination of the function of a body part, in this case targeting veins in the upper body. This operation involves techniques that eliminate the targeted vein without removal.

Within the Medical and Surgical section, Destruction of the Upper Veins applies to various veins such as the azygos, hemiazygos, subclavian, axillary, brachial, and jugular veins. The procedure can be performed using multiple approaches including Open, Percutaneous, and Percutaneous Endoscopic. For example, codes 05500ZZ and 05503ZZ describe destruction of the Azygos Vein via open and percutaneous approaches respectively, while 055P4ZZ refers to destruction of the Right External Jugular Vein using a percutaneous endoscopic technique. The granular ICD-10-PCS coding enables precise documentation of which upper vein was treated and the approach used, essential for accurate clinical records and billing.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 055 - Destruction (physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force or a destructive agent). There are a total of 79 procedure codes in this section.
