About 0VCTXZZ

0VCTXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the prepuce using an external 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 penis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0VC5XZZ (scrotum) and 0VCSXZZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VCT0ZZ (open), 0VCT3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0VCT4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 709 (Penis Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 710 (Penis Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Penis Procedures”.

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