About 0VLF0DZ
0VLF0DZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the right spermatic cord using an open approach with intraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to ligation of spermatic cord, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.72).
For a different body part, codes include 0VLG0DZ (left spermatic cord), 0VLH0DZ (bilateral spermatic cords), 0VLN0DZ (right vas deferens), 0VLP0DZ (left vas deferens) and 0VLQ0DZ (bilateral vas deferens).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VLF3DZ (percutaneous), 0VLF4DZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VLF8DZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0VLF0CZ (extraluminal device) and 0VLF0ZZ (no device).
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.
