About 0V554ZZ
0V554ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the scrotum using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of scrotum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.3).
For a different body part, codes include 0V504ZZ (prostate), 0V514ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0V524ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0V534ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V564ZZ (right tunica vaginalis), 0V574ZZ (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V550ZZ (open), 0V553ZZ (percutaneous) and 0V55XZZ (external).
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.
