About 0V5TXZZ

0V5TXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the prepuce using an external 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 local excision or destruction of lesion of penis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.2).

For a different body part, codes include 0V55XZZ (scrotum) and 0V5SXZZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V5T0ZZ (open), 0V5T3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0V5T4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 709 (Penis Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 710 (Penis Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “Penis Procedures”.

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