About 0V990ZX

0V990ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right testis using an open 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 open biopsy of testis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (62.12).

For a different body part, codes include 0V900ZX (prostate), 0V910ZX (right seminal vesicle), 0V920ZX (left seminal vesicle), 0V930ZX (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V950ZX (scrotum), 0V960ZX (right tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V993ZX (percutaneous) and 0V994ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Testes Procedures”.

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