About 0V908ZZ

0V908ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the prostate using a via natural or artificial opening 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 incision of prostate and incision of periprostatic tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (60.0 and 60.81).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V900ZZ (open), 0V903ZZ (percutaneous), 0V904ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0V907ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0V9080Z (drainage device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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), DRG 717 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 718 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “” and “Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”.

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