ICD-10-PCS Code for Hepatic Duct, Left: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0FL6 includes procedures performed to occlude ducts or lumens in the left hepatic duct. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a procedure completely closes the lumen of the left hepatic duct to stop bile flow or isolate biliary segments. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0FL6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Hepatic Duct, Left Occlusion Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes codes for completely closing the lumen of the left hepatic duct within the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. Procedures in this group involve occlusion techniques applied to the left hepatic duct to stop bile flow from that duct. Accurate coding of these occlusion procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement and for reflecting the complexity and intent of hepatobiliary surgical care.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when the left hepatic duct is intentionally and completely occluded as the primary procedure or as part of a larger hepatobiliary operation. Do not use these codes for partial closures, temporary stenting, or procedures that do not result in complete lumen occlusion.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old patient with hilar cholangiocarcinoma centered on the left hepatic duct presents for planned hepatic resection and biliary diversion. During the elective operation the surgeon completely occludes the left hepatic duct to isolate the diseased left hepatic biliary segment prior to left hepatectomy, using an extraluminal surgical clip applied through an open laparotomy. The occlusion is intentional and permanent as part of the resection strategy to prevent intraoperative bile leakage from the left system. Typical codes: 0FL60CZ
An adult patient presents emergently with massive bile leak and uncontrolled sepsis after prior left-sided biliary surgery; operative exploration is performed to control contamination. The surgeon identifies the left hepatic duct as the source and completely occludes the duct with direct intraluminal stapling during the open abdominal procedure to stop bile drainage and control ongoing biliary contamination. This definitive occlusion is performed urgently to control the septic process. Typical codes: 0FL60DZ, 0FL60ZZ
A patient with recurrent left intrahepatic biliary strictures after previous endoscopic interventions undergoes a percutaneous endoscopic interventional procedure to permanently close the left hepatic duct to prevent recurrent cholangitis in the nonfunctional left lobe. Via a percutaneous endoscopic approach the interventionalist deploys an intraluminal occlusive stent to seal the duct lumen and isolate the segment. Typical codes: 0FL64DZ, 0FL64ZZ
