About 0V9TXZX

0V9TXZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the prepuce using an external 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 penis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.11).

For a different body part, codes include 0V95XZX (scrotum) and 0V9SXZX (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V9T0ZX (open), 0V9T3ZX (percutaneous) and 0V9T4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 709 (Penis Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 710 (Penis Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “Penis Procedures”.

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