0S9G0ZZDrainage of Left Ankle Joint, Open Approach

0S9G0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left ankle 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, ankle, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (80.17).

For a different body part, codes include 0S900ZZ (lumbar vertebral joint), 0S920ZZ (lumbar vertebral disc), 0S930ZZ (lumbosacral joint), 0S940ZZ (lumbosacral disc), 0S950ZZ (sacrococcygeal joint), 0S960ZZ (coccygeal joint) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0S9G3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0S9G4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0S9G00Z (drainage device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 492 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 493 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur with CC), DRG 494 (Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Lower Extremity and Humerus Procedures Except Hip, Foot and Femur” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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