About 0T900ZX

0T900ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right kidney using an open approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to open biopsy of kidney, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (55.24).

For a different body part, codes include 0T910ZX (left kidney), 0T930ZX (right kidney pelvis), 0T940ZX (left kidney pelvis), 0T960ZX (right ureter), 0T970ZX (left ureter), 0T980ZX (bilateral ureters) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0T903ZX (percutaneous), 0T904ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 0T907ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0T908ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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), DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 656 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 657 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with CC) and DRG 658 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”, “”, “Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm” and 5 more.
