About 0X9730Z

0X9730Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left upper extremity using a percutaneous 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 with drainage of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.04).

For a different body part, codes include 0X9230Z (right shoulder region), 0X9330Z (left shoulder region), 0X9430Z (right axilla), 0X9530Z (left axilla), 0X9630Z (right upper extremity), 0X9830Z (right upper arm) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0X9700Z (open) and 0X9740Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0X973ZZ (no 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.
