About 0VJS3ZZ

0VJS3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the penis using a percutaneous 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 0VJ43ZZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VJ83ZZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VJD3ZZ (testis), 0VJM3ZZ (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VJR3ZZ (vas deferens).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VJS0ZZ (open), 0VJS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VJSXZZ (external).

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.
