About 0VTTXZZ

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

In plain terms, this corresponds to circumcision, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0VT5XZZ (scrotum) and 0VTSXZZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VTT0ZZ (open) and 0VTT4ZZ (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.
