About 0VCB0ZZ

0VCB0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left testis using an open 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 testis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (62.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0VC00ZZ (prostate), 0VC10ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VC20ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VC30ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0VC50ZZ (scrotum), 0VC60ZZ (right tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VCB3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0VCB4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Testes Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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