About 0V963ZZ
0V963ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right tunica vaginalis using a percutaneous 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 percutaneous aspiration of tunica vaginalis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.91).
For a different body part, codes include 0V903ZZ (prostate), 0V913ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0V923ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0V933ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V953ZZ (scrotum), 0V973ZZ (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V960ZZ (open) and 0V964ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0V9630Z (drainage 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.
