About 0V9J4ZZ

0V9J4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right epididymis 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 Epididymotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.92).

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 0V9J0ZZ (open) and 0V9J3ZZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 0V9J40Z (drainage device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Testes Procedures”.

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