About 0Q9840Z

0Q9840Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right femoral shaft using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 other incision of bone without division, femur, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.15).

For a different body part, codes include 0Q9040Z (lumbar vertebra), 0Q9140Z (sacrum), 0Q9240Z (right pelvic bone), 0Q9340Z (left pelvic bone), 0Q9440Z (right acetabulum), 0Q9540Z (left acetabulum) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0Q9800Z (open) and 0Q9830Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0Q984ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 498 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices of Hip and Femur with CC/MCC) and DRG 499 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices of Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices of Hip and Femur”.

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