About 0V954ZX
0V954ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the scrotum using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 biopsy of scrotum or tunica vaginalis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.11).
For a different body part, codes include 0V904ZX (prostate), 0V914ZX (right seminal vesicle), 0V924ZX (left seminal vesicle), 0V934ZX (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V964ZX (right tunica vaginalis), 0V974ZX (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V950ZX (open), 0V953ZX (percutaneous) and 0V95XZX (external).
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.
