About 0L9B3ZX
0L9B3ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left trunk tendon 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 other diagnostic procedures on muscle, tendon, fascia, and bursa, including that of hand, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.29).
For a different body part, codes include 0L903ZX (head and neck tendon), 0L913ZX (right shoulder tendon), 0L923ZX (left shoulder tendon), 0L933ZX (right upper arm tendon), 0L943ZX (left upper arm tendon), 0L953ZX (right lower arm and wrist tendon) and 21 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0L9B0ZX (open) and 0L9B4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).
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) and DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Soft Tissue Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
