About 0S960ZZ
0S960ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the coccygeal joint 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, other specified sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.19).
For a different body part, codes include 0S900ZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0S920ZZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0S930ZZ (lumbosacral joint), 0S940ZZ (lumbosacral disc), 0S950ZZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0S970ZZ (right sacroiliac joint) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0S963ZZ (percutaneous) and 0S964ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0S9600Z (drainage device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
