About 069N3ZZ

069N3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left femoral 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 069N0ZZ (open) and 069N4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 069N30Z (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.
