0Q940ZZDrainage of Right Acetabulum, Open Approach

0Q940ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right acetabulum 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, other bones, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (77.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0Q900ZZ (lumbar vertebra), 0Q910ZZ (sacrum), 0Q920ZZ (right pelvic bone), 0Q930ZZ (left pelvic bone), 0Q950ZZ (left acetabulum), 0Q960ZZ (right upper femur) and 18 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0Q943ZZ (percutaneous) and 0Q944ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0Q9400Z (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”.
