About 0F9040Z
0F9040Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the liver using a percutaneous 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 percutaneous aspiration of liver, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (50.91).
For a different body part, codes include 0F9140Z (liver, right lobe), 0F9240Z (liver, left lobe), 0F9440Z (gallbladder), 0F9540Z (right hepatic duct), 0F9640Z (left hepatic duct), 0F9740Z (hepatic duct, common) and 6 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0F9000Z (open) and 0F9030Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0F904ZZ (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.
