About 0VLP4ZZ

0VLP4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the left vas deferens using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 0VLF4ZZ (right spermatic cord), 0VLG4ZZ (left spermatic cord), 0VLH4ZZ (bilateral spermatic cords), 0VLN4ZZ (right vas deferens) and 0VLQ4ZZ (bilateral vas deferens).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VLP0ZZ (open), 0VLP3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0VLP8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VLP4CZ (extraluminal device) and 0VLP4DZ (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.
