About 0L9100Z
0L9100Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right shoulder tendon 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 exploration of tendon sheath, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.01).
For a different body part, codes include 0L9000Z (head and neck tendon), 0L9200Z (left shoulder tendon), 0L9300Z (right upper arm tendon), 0L9400Z (left upper arm tendon), 0L9500Z (right lower arm and wrist tendon), 0L9600Z (left lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0L9130Z (percutaneous) and 0L9140Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0L910ZZ (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 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
