About 069040Z

069040Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the inferior vena cava 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 069140Z (splenic vein), 069240Z (gastric vein), 069340Z (esophageal vein), 069440Z (hepatic vein), 069540Z (superior mesenteric vein), 069640Z (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 069000Z (open) and 069030Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 06904ZZ (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.
