About 0K923ZZ

0K923ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right neck muscle 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 aspiration of other soft tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.95).

For a different body part, codes include 0K903ZZ (head muscle), 0K913ZZ (facial muscle), 0K933ZZ (left neck muscle), 0K943ZZ (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0K953ZZ (right shoulder muscle), 0K963ZZ (left shoulder muscle) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0K920ZZ (open) and 0K924ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0K9230Z (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.
