0K9700ZDrainage of Right Upper Arm Muscle with Drainage Device, Open Approach

0K9700Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right upper arm muscle using an open 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 myotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.02).

For a different body part, codes include 0K9000Z (head muscle), 0K9100Z (facial muscle), 0K9200Z (right neck muscle), 0K9300Z (left neck muscle), 0K9400Z (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0K9500Z (right shoulder muscle) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0K9730Z (percutaneous) and 0K9740Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0K970ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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