About 0F963ZX

0F963ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left hepatic duct using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). 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 biopsy of gallbladder or bile ducts, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.12).

For a different body part, codes include 0F903ZX (liver), 0F913ZX (liver, right lobe), 0F923ZX (liver, left lobe), 0F943ZX (gallbladder), 0F953ZX (right hepatic duct), 0F973ZX (hepatic duct, common) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0F960ZX (open), 0F964ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 0F967ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0F968ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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.
