About 06913ZX

06913ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the splenic vein using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to biopsy of blood vessel, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.21).

For a different body part, codes include 06903ZX (inferior vena cava), 06923ZX (gastric vein), 06933ZX (esophageal vein), 06943ZX (hepatic vein), 06953ZX (superior mesenteric vein), 06963ZX (inferior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 06910ZX (open) and 06914ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
