About 0W9J7ZX

0W9J7ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the pelvic cavity using a via natural or artificial opening approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

For a different body part, codes include 0W967ZX (neck).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0W9J0ZX (open), 0W9J3ZX (percutaneous), 0W9J4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0W9J8ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
