About 0V9G4ZZ
0V9G4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left spermatic cord 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 aspiration of spermatocele, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.91).
For a different body part, codes include 0V904ZZ (prostate), 0V914ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0V924ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0V934ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V954ZZ (scrotum), 0V964ZZ (right tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V9G0ZZ (open) and 0V9G3ZZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0V9G40Z (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.
