About 0VNB4ZZ
0VNB4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the left testis using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.
In plain terms, this corresponds to reduction of torsion of testis or spermatic cord, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.52).
For a different body part, codes include 0VN04ZZ (prostate), 0VN14ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VN24ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VN34ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0VN54ZZ (scrotum), 0VN64ZZ (right tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VNB0ZZ (open) and 0VNB3ZZ (percutaneous).
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.
