ICD-10-PCS 06J Medical and Surgical: Lower Veins Inspection
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (code 06J) refers to visually and/or manually examining a body part to assess its condition. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation applies to the Lower Veins and involves looking inside or externally without making changes to the anatomy.
The purpose of inspection in the lower veins is typically diagnostic, helping to detect abnormalities or disease. The available ICD-10-PCS codes demonstrate various approaches used during inspection, such as an Open Approach (06JY0ZZ), which involves direct visualization through surgical exposure, or less invasive methods like the Percutaneous Approach (06JY3ZZ) and the Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (06JY4ZZ). Additionally, an External Approach (06JYXZZ) is included for inspections performed without entering the vein. These codes enable precise documentation of the inspection procedures performed on lower veins, supporting accurate clinical reporting and treatment planning.
