About 079B30Z
079B30Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the lymphatic, mesenteric 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 079030Z (lymphatic, head), 079130Z (lymphatic, right neck), 079230Z (lymphatic, left neck), 079330Z (lymphatic, right upper extremity), 079430Z (lymphatic, left upper extremity), 079530Z (lymphatic, right axillary) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 079B00Z (open), 079B40Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 079B80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 079B3ZZ (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.
