About 0VT30ZZ

0VT30ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the bilateral seminal vesicles 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 excision of seminal vesicle, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (60.73).

For a different body part, codes include 0VT00ZZ (prostate), 0VT10ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VT20ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VT50ZZ (scrotum), 0VT60ZZ (right tunica vaginalis), 0VT70ZZ (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VT34ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 715 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 716 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 717 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 718 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “” and “Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”.

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