About 0Y9B3ZX

0Y9B3ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left lower extremity using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to closed biopsy of skin and subcutaneous tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (86.11).

For a different body part, codes include 0Y903ZX (right buttock), 0Y913ZX (left buttock), 0Y953ZX (right inguinal region), 0Y963ZX (left inguinal region), 0Y973ZX (right femoral region), 0Y983ZX (left femoral region) and 11 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0Y9B0ZX (open) and 0Y9B4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
