About 039B40Z
039B40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right radial artery using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 039040Z (right internal mammary artery), 039140Z (left internal mammary artery), 039240Z (innominate artery), 039340Z (right subclavian artery), 039440Z (left subclavian artery), 039540Z (right axillary artery) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 039B00Z (open) and 039B30Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 039B4ZZ (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.
