Note. Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00-Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'.This can arise in two main ways:

A laparoscopic needle was used to aspirate it. The fluid that was drained from the gallbladder appeared somewhat purulent and turbid. It was sent for culture. Due to the inflammation of the gallbladder it was extremely difficult to safely access the hepaticocystic triangle.
They were seeing things through the lap. You certainly do not want to code diagnostic laparoscopy and call the drain placement inclusive because you'll short change the doctor.
What is documented here is not a percutaneous procedure. 47490 is an interventional radiology procedure that is less invasive than a laparoscopic procedure - the catheter in the percutaneous procedure would be threaded over a guidewire that was placed with imaging guidance and there would be no incision.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
