About 07923ZX
07923ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the lymphatic, left neck 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 lymphatic structure, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (40.11).
For a different body part, codes include 07903ZX (lymphatic, head), 07913ZX (lymphatic, right neck), 07933ZX (lymphatic, right upper extremity), 07943ZX (lymphatic, left upper extremity), 07953ZX (lymphatic, right axillary), 07963ZX (lymphatic, left axillary) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 07920ZX (open), 07924ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 07928ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures” and 4 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
