About 039730Z
039730Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right brachial artery using a percutaneous 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 puncture of artery, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.98).
For a different body part, codes include 039030Z (right internal mammary artery), 039130Z (left internal mammary artery), 039230Z (innominate artery), 039330Z (right subclavian artery), 039430Z (left subclavian artery), 039530Z (right axillary artery) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 039700Z (open) and 039740Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 03973ZZ (no device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
