CCI component 2 codes - what was done
Procedure: Occlusion
CCI 2 code: 51
CCI Collection Mode: CCI collect each

This procedure is a part of CCI Collection. This is one of the CCI component 2 codes - what was done.

Additional Info

  • Combine this "what was done" code with the code for the body part that underwent occlusion.
  • That body part can be a blood vessel to code a procedure used to stop bleeding, such as embolization, banding, or surgical ligation
  • To code placement of an IVC filter, you'd combine this component with (T) Vena Cava
  • To code closure of a patent ductus arteriosis you combine it with (T) Pulmonary Artery
  • The body part can be of a nonvascular structure
    • For example, a radical approach to aspiration is to ligate the trachea and create a "spit fistula" -- you'd code that with two separate CCI codes:
    • For example, it can be used to indicate occlusion of other structures (e.g. lacrimal gland duct)
  • To code TACE transarterial chemoembolization for liver cancer via femoral artery to block hepatic artery code this with (T) Liver

Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition

(enter links to ICD10 codes that would likely go with this CCI procedure, but only in case of close relation, ie not every dx that might require this procedure)
