About 0V964ZX
0V964ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right tunica vaginalis 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), 0V954ZX (scrotum), 0V974ZX (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V960ZX (open) and 0V963ZX (percutaneous).
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.
