About 0VJS0ZZ

0VJS0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the penis using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on penis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0VJ40ZZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VJ80ZZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VJD0ZZ (testis), 0VJM0ZZ (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VJR0ZZ (vas deferens).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VJS3ZZ (percutaneous), 0VJS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VJSXZZ (external).

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.
