About 069J3ZZ

069J3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left hypogastric vein using a percutaneous 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 other puncture of vein, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.99).

For a different body part, codes include 06903ZZ (inferior vena cava), 06913ZZ (splenic vein), 06923ZZ (gastric vein), 06933ZZ (esophageal vein), 06943ZZ (hepatic vein), 06953ZZ (superior mesenteric vein) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 069J0ZZ (open) and 069J4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 069J30Z (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.
