About 059F40Z
059F40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left cephalic vein 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 vein, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.99).
For a different body part, codes include 059040Z (azygos vein), 059140Z (hemiazygos vein), 059340Z (right innominate vein), 059440Z (left innominate vein), 059540Z (right subclavian vein), 059640Z (left subclavian vein) and 19 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 059F00Z (open) and 059F30Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 059F4ZZ (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.
