About 0VT90ZZ

0VT90ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the right testis 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 unilateral orchiectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (62.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0VT00ZZ (prostate), 0VT10ZZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VT20ZZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VT30ZZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0VT50ZZ (scrotum), 0VT60ZZ (right tunica vaginalis) and 14 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VT94ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Testes Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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