About 0K9M4ZZ

0K9M4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the perineum muscle using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 myotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (83.02).

For a different body part, codes include 0K904ZZ (head muscle), 0K914ZZ (facial muscle), 0K924ZZ (right neck muscle), 0K934ZZ (left neck muscle), 0K944ZZ (tongue, palate, pharynx muscle), 0K954ZZ (right shoulder muscle) and 21 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0K9M0ZZ (open) and 0K9M3ZZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0K9M40Z (drainage device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 500 (Soft Tissue Procedures with MCC), DRG 501 (Soft Tissue Procedures with CC), DRG 502 (Soft Tissue Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Soft Tissue Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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