About 0Y9840Z
0Y9840Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left femoral region 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 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 0Y9040Z (right buttock), 0Y9140Z (left buttock), 0Y9540Z (right inguinal region), 0Y9640Z (left inguinal region), 0Y9740Z (right femoral region), 0Y9940Z (right lower extremity) and 11 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0Y9800Z (open) and 0Y9830Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0Y984ZZ (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.
