About 0VLP3ZZ
0VLP3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the left vas deferens using a percutaneous approach. 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 vas deferens, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.71).
For a different body part, codes include 0VLF3ZZ (right spermatic cord), 0VLG3ZZ (left spermatic cord), 0VLH3ZZ (bilateral spermatic cords), 0VLN3ZZ (right vas deferens) and 0VLQ3ZZ (bilateral vas deferens).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VLP0ZZ (open), 0VLP4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VLP8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0VLP3CZ (extraluminal device) and 0VLP3DZ (intraluminal 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.
