About 069J0ZZ
069J0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left hypogastric vein using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to venous cutdown, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.94).
For a different body part, codes include 06900ZZ (inferior vena cava), 06910ZZ (splenic vein), 06920ZZ (gastric vein), 06930ZZ (esophageal vein), 06940ZZ (hepatic vein), 06950ZZ (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 069J3ZZ (percutaneous) and 069J4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 069J00Z (drainage 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.
