About 0VC07ZZ

0VC07ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the prostate using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of prostate, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (60.0).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VC00ZZ (open), 0VC03ZZ (percutaneous), 0VC04ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VC08ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 715 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 716 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 717 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 718 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “” and “Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”.

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