About 0M950ZZ

0M950ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right wrist bursa and ligament using an open 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 arthrotomy, wrist and Bursotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (80.13 and 83.03).

For a different body part, codes include 0M900ZZ (head and neck bursa and ligament), 0M910ZZ (right shoulder bursa and ligament), 0M920ZZ (left shoulder bursa and ligament), 0M930ZZ (right elbow bursa and ligament), 0M940ZZ (left elbow bursa and ligament), 0M960ZZ (left wrist bursa and ligament) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0M953ZZ (percutaneous) and 0M954ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0M9500Z (drainage device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 506 (Major Thumb or Joint Procedures) and DRG 906 (Hand Procedures for Injuries), under the surgical categories “Major Thumb or Joint Procedures” and “Hand Procedures for Injuries”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
