About 0P904ZZ
0P904ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the sternum using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 incision of bone without division, scapula, clavicle, and thorax [ribs and sternum], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.11).
For a different body part, codes include 0P914ZZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0P924ZZ (ribs, 3 or more), 0P934ZZ (cervical vertebra), 0P944ZZ (thoracic vertebra), 0P954ZZ (right scapula), 0P964ZZ (left scapula) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0P900ZZ (open) and 0P903ZZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0P9040Z (drainage device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 495 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with MCC), DRG 496 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with CC) and DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
