About 069Q30Z

069Q30Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left saphenous vein using a percutaneous 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 069030Z (inferior vena cava), 069130Z (splenic vein), 069230Z (gastric vein), 069330Z (esophageal vein), 069430Z (hepatic vein), 069530Z (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 069Q00Z (open) and 069Q40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 069Q3ZZ (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.
