About 0VT00ZZ

0VT00ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the prostate using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to suprapubic prostatectomy, Retropubic prostatectomy and other prostatectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (60.3, 60.4 and 60.69).

For a different body part, codes include 0VT10ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VT20ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VT30ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0VT50ZZ (scrotum), 0VT60ZZ (right tunica vaginalis), 0VT70ZZ (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VT04ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VT07ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VT08ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 665 (Prostatectomy with MCC), DRG 666 (Prostatectomy with CC), DRG 667 (Prostatectomy without CC/MCC), DRG 707 (Major Male Pelvic Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 708 (Major Male Pelvic Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Prostatectomy” and “Major Male Pelvic Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
