About 4A163BZ

4A163BZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a monitoring procedure on the lymphatic using a percutaneous approach with pressure. In ICD-10-PCS, monitoring means determining the level of a physiological or physical function repetitively over a period of time.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on lymphatic structures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (40.19).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 4A160BZ (open), 4A167BZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 4A168BZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 4A1635Z (flow).

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.
