About 0VQTXZZ

0VQTXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the prepuce using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of penis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.49).

For a different body part, codes include 0VQ5XZZ (scrotum) and 0VQSXZZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VQT0ZZ (open), 0VQT3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0VQT4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 709 (Penis Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 710 (Penis Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Penis Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
