About 0VLP0DZ

0VLP0DZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the left vas deferens 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 other operations on spermatic card, epididymis, and vas deferens, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0VLF0DZ (right spermatic cord), 0VLG0DZ (left spermatic cord), 0VLH0DZ (bilateral spermatic cords), 0VLN0DZ (right vas deferens) and 0VLQ0DZ (bilateral vas deferens).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VLP3DZ (percutaneous), 0VLP4DZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VLP8DZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VLP0CZ (extraluminal device) and 0VLP0ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Testes Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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