About 0V508ZZ

0V508ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the prostate using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to transurethral (ultrasound) guided laser induced prostatectomy (TULIP), transurethral destruction of prostate tissue by microwave thermotherapy and other transurethral destruction of prostate tissue by other thermotherapy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (60.21, 60.96 and 60.97).

For a different body part, codes include 0V5F8ZZ (right spermatic cord), 0V5G8ZZ (left spermatic cord), 0V5H8ZZ (bilateral spermatic cords), 0V5J8ZZ (right epididymis), 0V5K8ZZ (left epididymis), 0V5L8ZZ (bilateral epididymis) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0V500ZZ (open), 0V503ZZ (percutaneous), 0V504ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0V507ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 665 (Prostatectomy with MCC), DRG 666 (Prostatectomy with CC), DRG 667 (Prostatectomy without CC/MCC), DRG 713 (Transurethral Prostatectomy with CC/MCC) and DRG 714 (Transurethral Prostatectomy without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Prostatectomy” and “Transurethral Prostatectomy”.

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