About 039630Z
039630Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left axillary artery 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 puncture of artery, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.98).
For a different body part, codes include 039030Z (right internal mammary artery), 039130Z (left internal mammary artery), 039230Z (innominate artery), 039330Z (right subclavian artery), 039430Z (left subclavian artery), 039530Z (right axillary artery) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 039600Z (open) and 039640Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 03963ZZ (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.
