The definition for the Drainage root operation provided in the 2013 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is “Taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.” Drainage is coded for both diagnostic and therapeutic drainage procedures.
Hemostats were used to dissect in through to the peritoneum. There was a rush of dark brown to bilious fluid upon entry as well as air. 1/4 inch Penrose drain was placed into the abdominal cavity and secured at the incision using a 3-0 Ethibond suture. Patient was cleaned and dried. A clean gauze was placed to collect the Penrose drain output.
In ICD-10-PCS, review of the term “nephrostomy” in the Alphabetic Index identifies two possible root operations, bypass and drainage. However, after review of the documentation neither of these root operations matches the procedure performed.

ICD-10-PCS has a seven character alphanumeric code structure. Each character contains up to 34 possible values. Each value represents a specific option for the general character definition (e.g., stomach is one of the values for the body part character).
The 3rd character in the Medical and Surgical Section ICD-10-PCS code is the root operation. This value describes the objective of the procedure.
The last area to be discussed are codes from the newborn section, specifically P03.X. These codes are only to be coded on the newborn chart, not on the mom’s chart. The P03 section are used to reflect a newborn affected by other complications of labor and delivery. Basically this means that these codes can only be assigned fi the physician specifically states a complication of the labor and/or delivery directly affected the well being of the baby. A good example of this is when the baby is delivered with a nuchal cord around it’s neck; unless the physician documents an adverse outcome of the nuchal cord (respiratory distress, aspiration, etc), a code from the P03 section should not be assigned. Many times the presence of a nuchal cord is documented, but there are no untoward event associated with it.
The code for anemia O99.0xx) is a good example of a diagnosis that has multiple qualifiers – first trimester, second trimester, third trimester, in childbirth, and during the puerperium.
Obstetrical and newborn coding has always been somewhat challenging but has become even more so in ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS. Coders must be aware of the documentation requirements, indexing, and knowledge of the procedures being performed in order to apply the correct diagnosis and procedure codes.

Answer:#N#The internal jugular tunneled catheter consists of two-parts, an infusion port and catheter. Code the insertion, as well as the removal of both the infusion device and the vascular access device. Assign the following ICD-10-PCS codes: 1 02PY33Z Removal of infusion device from great vessel, percutaneous approach, for removal of the infusion portion of the catheter 2 0JPT0XZ Removal of vascular access device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach, for removal of the port 3 02H633Z Insertion of infusion device into right atrium, percutaneous approach, for insertion of catheter
Physician documentation is needed for the intended use of the line and the anatomical site that the catheter ends up.
