About 0V5B4ZZ
0V5B4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left testis 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 testicular lesion, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (62.2).
For a different body part, codes include 0V504ZZ (prostate), 0V514ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0V524ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0V534ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0V554ZZ (scrotum), 0V564ZZ (right tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V5B0ZZ (open) and 0V5B3ZZ (percutaneous).
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.
