About 059F4ZZ
059F4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left cephalic vein 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 vein, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.99).
For a different body part, codes include 05904ZZ (azygos vein), 05914ZZ (hemiazygos vein), 05934ZZ (right innominate vein), 05944ZZ (left innominate vein), 05954ZZ (right subclavian vein), 05964ZZ (left subclavian vein) and 19 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 059F0ZZ (open) and 059F3ZZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 059F40Z (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.
