About 0Q993ZZ

0Q993ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left femoral shaft 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 other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0Q903ZZ (lumbar vertebra), 0Q913ZZ (sacrum), 0Q923ZZ (right pelvic bone), 0Q933ZZ (left pelvic bone), 0Q943ZZ (right acetabulum), 0Q953ZZ (left acetabulum) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0Q990ZZ (open) and 0Q994ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0Q9930Z (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.
