About 0R9L00Z

0R9L00Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right elbow joint 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 other arthrotomy, elbow, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.12).

For a different body part, codes include 0R9000Z (occipital-cervical joint), 0R9100Z (cervical vertebral joint), 0R9300Z (cervical vertebral disc), 0R9400Z (cervicothoracic vertebral joint), 0R9500Z (cervicothoracic vertebral disc), 0R9600Z (thoracic vertebral joint) and 22 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0R9L30Z (percutaneous) and 0R9L40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0R9L0ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 507 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 508 (Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Shoulder or Elbow Joint Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and “Other O.R.
