About 0VSC3ZZ
0VSC3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the bilateral testes using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Orchiopexy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (62.5).
For a different body part, codes include 0VS93ZZ (right testis), 0VSB3ZZ (left testis), 0VSF3ZZ (right spermatic cord), 0VSG3ZZ (left spermatic cord) and 0VSH3ZZ (bilateral spermatic cords).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VSC0ZZ (open), 0VSC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VSC8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Testes Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
