About 0L993ZZ
0L993ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right trunk tendon using a percutaneous approach. 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 0L903ZZ (head and neck tendon), 0L913ZZ (right shoulder tendon), 0L923ZZ (left shoulder tendon), 0L933ZZ (right upper arm tendon), 0L943ZZ (left upper arm tendon), 0L953ZZ (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0L990ZZ (open) and 0L994ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0L9930Z (drainage 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.
