About 0VCN4ZZ
0VCN4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right vas deferens using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Vasotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.6).
For a different body part, codes include 0VC04ZZ (prostate), 0VC14ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VC24ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VC34ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0VC54ZZ (scrotum), 0VC64ZZ (right tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VCN0ZZ (open) and 0VCN3ZZ (percutaneous).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
