About 0VB07ZZ

0VB07ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the prostate using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other transurethral prostatectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (60.29).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VB00ZZ (open), 0VB03ZZ (percutaneous), 0VB04ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VB08ZZ (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 713 (Transurethral Prostatectomy with CC/MCC) and DRG 714 (Transurethral Prostatectomy without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Prostatectomy” and “Transurethral Prostatectomy”.

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