About 0F9480Z

0F9480Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the gallbladder 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 percutaneous aspiration of gallbladder, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0F9580Z (right hepatic duct), 0F9680Z (left hepatic duct), 0F9780Z (hepatic duct, common), 0F9880Z (cystic duct), 0F9980Z (common bile duct), 0F9C80Z (ampulla of vater) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0F9400Z (open), 0F9430Z (percutaneous) and 0F9440Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0F948ZZ (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.
