About 0VTQ0ZZ

0VTQ0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the bilateral vas deferens 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 Vasectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.73).

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 0VTQ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
