About 079B80Z
079B80Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the lymphatic, mesenteric using a via natural or artificial opening 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 079080Z (lymphatic, head), 079180Z (lymphatic, right neck), 079280Z (lymphatic, left neck), 079380Z (lymphatic, right upper extremity), 079480Z (lymphatic, left upper extremity), 079580Z (lymphatic, right axillary) and 12 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 079B00Z (open), 079B30Z (percutaneous) and 079B40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 079B8ZZ (no device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
