About 0VP44YZ

0VP44YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the prostate and seminal vesicles using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of prostate and incision of seminal vesicle, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (60.0 and 60.72).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP84YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD4YZ (testis), 0VPM4YZ (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR4YZ (vas deferens) and 0VPS4YZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VP40YZ (open), 0VP43YZ (percutaneous), 0VP47YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VP48YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VP440Z (drainage device), 0VP441Z (radioactive element), 0VP443Z (infusion device), 0VP447Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VP44JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VP44KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
