About 049P4ZZ
049P4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right anterior tibial artery using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 04904ZZ (abdominal aorta), 04914ZZ (celiac artery), 04924ZZ (gastric artery), 04934ZZ (hepatic artery), 04944ZZ (splenic artery), 04954ZZ (superior mesenteric artery) and 24 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 049P0ZZ (open) and 049P3ZZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 049P40Z (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.
