About 049F0ZZ
049F0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left internal iliac artery using an open approach. 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 04900ZZ (abdominal aorta), 04910ZZ (celiac artery), 04920ZZ (gastric artery), 04930ZZ (hepatic artery), 04940ZZ (splenic artery), 04950ZZ (superior mesenteric artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 049F3ZZ (percutaneous) and 049F4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 049F00Z (drainage 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.
