About 0K9B30Z

0K9B30Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left lower arm and wrist muscle using a percutaneous 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 aspiration of other soft tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.95).

For a different body part, codes include 0K9030Z (head muscle), 0K9130Z (facial muscle), 0K9230Z (right neck muscle), 0K9330Z (left neck muscle), 0K9430Z (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0K9530Z (right shoulder muscle) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0K9B00Z (open) and 0K9B40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0K9B3ZZ (no device).

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.
