About 0V900ZX

0V900ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the prostate 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 prostate, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (60.12).

For a different body part, codes include 0V910ZX (right seminal vesicle), 0V920ZX (left seminal vesicle), 0V930ZX (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V950ZX (scrotum), 0V960ZX (right tunica vaginalis), 0V970ZX (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V903ZX (percutaneous), 0V904ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 0V907ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0V908ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 668 (Transurethral Procedures with MCC), DRG 669 (Transurethral Procedures with CC), DRG 670 (Transurethral Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 715 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 716 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC) and DRG 717 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Transurethral Procedures”, “” and “Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”.

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