0P920ZZDrainage of 3 or More Ribs, Open Approach

0P920ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the ribs, 3 or more using an open 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 other incision of bone without division, scapula, clavicle, and thorax [ribs and sternum], the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.11).

For a different body part, codes include 0P900ZZ (sternum), 0P910ZZ (ribs, 1 to 2), 0P930ZZ (cervical vertebra), 0P940ZZ (thoracic vertebra), 0P950ZZ (right scapula), 0P960ZZ (left scapula) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0P923ZZ (percutaneous) and 0P924ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0P9200Z (drainage device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 495 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with MCC), DRG 496 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur with CC) and DRG 497 (Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Local Excision and Removal of Internal Fixation Devices Except Hip and Femur”.

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