Excision of Left Axillary Lymphatic, Open Approach, Diagnostic 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Billable/Specific Code ICD-10-PCS 07B60ZX is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
07B20ZX 2. 07B20ZZ 3. 07B23ZX 4. 07T20ZZ Assign the ICD-10-PCS codes for an open lumpectomy of the upper-outer left breast and a sentinel lymph node biopsy of the axillary lymph node.
Biopsy procedures are coded using the root operations Excision, Extraction, or Drainage and the qualifier Diagnostic. The qualifier Diagnostic is used only for biopsies. Examples: Fine needle aspiration biopsy of lung is coded to the root operation Drainage with the qualifier Diagnostic.
The ICD-10-PCS Guidelines also give direction on the coding of biopsies accompanied by a definitive procedure. B3.4b
B3.4aBiopsy procedures B3. 4a Biopsy procedures are coded using the root operations Excision, Extraction, or Drainage and the qualifier Diagnostic. The qualifier Diagnostic is used only for biopsies.
C77. 3 - Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of axilla and upper limb lymph nodes | ICD-10-CM.
Unspecified lump in axillary tail of the left breast N63. 32 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N63. 32 became effective on October 1, 2021.
2022 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 0FT44ZZ: Resection of Gallbladder, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach.
There are three levels of axillary lymph nodes: Levels I-III. CPT code 38500 is reported for open excision or biopsy of superficial lymph nodes — these nodes are usually palpable under the skin. Levels II and III are deep and reported with CPT code 38525 (open, deep axillary nodes).
The lymph nodes in the armpits are called axillary lymph nodes. Axillary lymph nodes are located near the breasts. This means they are often the first location to which breast cancer spreads if it moves beyond the breast tissue. The number of axillary lymph nodes can vary from person to person.
Lymphatic system and axillary nodes Lymph nodes are small clumps of immune cells that act as filters for the lymphatic system. They also store white blood cells that help fight illness. The lymph nodes in the underarm are called axillary lymph nodes. If breast cancer spreads, this is the first place it's likely to go.
ICD-10 code R59. 9 for Enlarged lymph nodes, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
38740 requires removal of all superficial axillary adipose tissue and all lymph nodes contained in this adipose tissue. 38745 requires a complete axillary dissection.
Open approach is cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. If procedures are performed using the open approach with percutaneous endoscopic assistance or hand-assisted laparoscopy they are coded as open.
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
A9 Within a PCS table, valid codes include all combinations of choices in characters 4 through 7 contained in the same row of the table. In the example below, 0JHT3VZ is a valid code, and 0JHW3VZ is not a valid code.
L04. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM L04.

38740 requires removal of all superficial axillary adipose tissue and all lymph nodes contained in this adipose tissue. 38745 requires a complete axillary dissection.
Coding Example 1: A core biopsy is performed of an axillary lymph node under ultrasound guidance, followed by a FNA biopsy of the thyroid under ultrasound guidance. Proper coding is 38505, 76942-59, and 10005.
Needle biopsy of bone marrow of the iliac crest: 07DR3ZX
Lymph node sampling for biopsy is coded to the root operation Excision with the qualifier Diagnostic. Here is a biopsy of bone marrow, broken down by characters: Character 3: Root operation - In the Alphabetic Index, under the term ‘Biopsy, Bone Marrow’, leads to the term ‘Extraction’, with qualifier ‘Diagnostic’.
A biopsy is assigned a 7th character of X for Diagnostic. The correct code is 07B20ZX.
This was an excision of the breast, not a resection. Code 0HBU0ZZ is for the lumpectomy, and code 07B60ZX is for the axillary lymph node biopsy.
The Alphabetic Index main term is Vasectomy, "see Excision, Male Reproductive System 0VB," the specific body part is the vas deferens, bilateral (Q), the approach is open (0), and there is no device or qualifier (Z). The definition for the root operation of excision is to cut, out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
The qualifier Diagnostic (X) is used because the documentation indicates it was a tissue sampling. The correct code is 0UDB7ZX.
A laparotomy means an incision is made into the abdominal cavity, so the approach is Open (0). The correct code is 0DQ60ZZ.
The root operation for a lumbar puncture is Drainage. Because it is done for diagnostic purposes, the qualifier Diagnostic (X) is used. The correct code is 009Y3ZX.
The correct code is 01N54ZZ. The Median Nerve (5) is pinched so the root operation of Release (N) is performed on the nerve.
