About 0VT50ZZ
0VT50ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the scrotum 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 or destruction of lesion or tissue of scrotum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.3).
For a different body part, codes include 0VT00ZZ (prostate), 0VT10ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VT20ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VT30ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0VT60ZZ (right tunica vaginalis), 0VT70ZZ (left tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VT54ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VT5XZZ (external).
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.
