About 0V9L00Z

0V9L00Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the bilateral epididymis using an open approach with drainage device. 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 0V9000Z (prostate), 0V9100Z (right seminal vesicle), 0V9200Z (left seminal vesicle), 0V9300Z (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V9500Z (scrotum), 0V9600Z (right tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V9L30Z (percutaneous) and 0V9L40Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0V9L0ZZ (no 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.
