About 099130Z
099130Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left external ear 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 incision of external ear, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (18.09).
For a different body part, codes include 099030Z (right external ear), 099330Z (right external auditory canal), 099430Z (left external auditory canal), 099730Z (right tympanic membrane), 099830Z (left tympanic membrane), 099B30Z (right mastoid sinus) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 099100Z (open), 099140Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0991X0Z (external).
With a different device, use 09913ZZ (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.
