About 039S30Z
039S30Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right temporal 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 039S00Z (open) and 039S40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 039S3ZZ (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.
