ICD-10-PCS Code For Renal Vein, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06H9 includes procedures performed to insert nonbiological appliances that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent physiological functions in the right renal vein. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a device is placed in the right renal vein to manage or monitor renal venous flow or related physiology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06H9 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Renal Vein, Right Insertion Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve inserting a nonbiological appliance into the right renal vein to monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function related to venous flow and renal circulation. These procedures target the lower veins body system and specifically the right renal vein. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these insertions is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the exact device placement and clinical intent, which affects case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A hospitalized patient with acute right-sided renal vein thrombosis secondary to nephrotic syndrome presents with worsening flank pain, hematuria, and rising creatinine; anticoagulation alone is insufficient due to contraindications, so an intraluminal thrombolytic catheter is inserted into the right renal vein to deliver local thrombolysis and restore venous outflow. Typical codes: 06H93DZ, 06H94DZ
An adult with recurrent renal venous hypertension and refractory hematuria after prior renal transplant evaluation is admitted electively for placement of a monitoring/infusion device into the right renal vein to assess pressures and deliver targeted therapy as part of a planned endovascular strategy. Typical codes: 06H933Z, 06H943Z
A patient develops catheter malfunction and device-related infection of a previously placed right renal venous infusion catheter, requiring open removal and replacement of the nonbiological appliance during the same inpatient stay to control sepsis and reestablish venous access. Typical codes: 06H903Z, 06H90DZ
