About 0V503ZZ

0V503ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the prostate using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to perineal prostatectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (60.62).

For a different body part, codes include 0V513ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0V523ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0V533ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V553ZZ (scrotum), 0V563ZZ (right tunica vaginalis), 0V573ZZ (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V500ZZ (open), 0V504ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0V507ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0V508ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 665 (Prostatectomy with MCC), DRG 666 (Prostatectomy with CC), DRG 667 (Prostatectomy without CC/MCC), DRG 707 (Major Male Pelvic Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 708 (Major Male Pelvic Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Prostatectomy” and “Major Male Pelvic Procedures”.

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