About 0VLF8CZ

0VLF8CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the right spermatic cord using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with extraluminal 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 0VLG8CZ (left spermatic cord), 0VLH8CZ (bilateral spermatic cords), 0VLN8CZ (right vas deferens), 0VLP8CZ (left vas deferens) and 0VLQ8CZ (bilateral vas deferens).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VLF0CZ (open), 0VLF3CZ (percutaneous) and 0VLF4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VLF8DZ (intraluminal device) and 0VLF8ZZ (no device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
