About 0V95XZZ

0V95XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the scrotum using an external 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 incision and drainage of scrotum and tunica vaginalis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0V9SXZZ (penis) and 0V9TXZZ (prepuce).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V950ZZ (open), 0V953ZZ (percutaneous) and 0V954ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0V95X0Z (drainage device).

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

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