06L30ZZ ICD-10-PCS Code: Occlusion of Esophageal Vein, Open Approach
Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body System6 | Lower Veins |
| 3 | Root OperationL | Occlusion Completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part |
| 4 | Body Part3 | Esophageal Vein |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | DeviceZ | No Device |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 15 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 05 — Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures: DRG 270, DRG 271, DRG 272
- MDC 06 — Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures: DRG 326, DRG 327, DRG 328
- MDC 07 — Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures: DRG 423, DRG 424, DRG 425
- MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
- MDC 24 — Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma: DRG 957, DRG 958, DRG 959
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
