About 019N00Z
019N00Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the lumbar sympathetic nerve using an open approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on sympathetic nerves or ganglia, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (05.89).
For a different body part, codes include 019000Z (cervical plexus), 019100Z (cervical nerve), 019200Z (phrenic nerve), 019300Z (brachial plexus), 019400Z (ulnar nerve), 019500Z (median nerve) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 019N30Z (percutaneous) and 019N40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 019N0ZZ (no device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC) and DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures” and “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
