About 0V9540Z
0V9540Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the scrotum using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage device. 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 and drainage of scrotum and tunica vaginalis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.0).
For a different body part, codes include 0V9040Z (prostate), 0V9140Z (right seminal vesicle), 0V9240Z (left seminal vesicle), 0V9340Z (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V9640Z (right tunica vaginalis), 0V9740Z (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V9500Z (open), 0V9530Z (percutaneous) and 0V95X0Z (external).
With a different device, use 0V954ZZ (no device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
