About 0F973ZX
0F973ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the hepatic duct, common 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), 0F963ZX (left hepatic duct) and 6 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0F970ZX (open), 0F974ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 0F977ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0F978ZX (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 was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
