About 0F9440Z

0F9440Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the gallbladder 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 gallbladder, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0F9040Z (liver), 0F9140Z (liver, right lobe), 0F9240Z (liver, left lobe), 0F9540Z (right hepatic duct), 0F9640Z (left hepatic duct), 0F9740Z (hepatic duct, common) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0F9400Z (open), 0F9430Z (percutaneous) and 0F9480Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0F944ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 408 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with MCC), DRG 409 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with CC) and DRG 410 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E.”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
