About 0VP47KZ

0VP47KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the prostate and seminal vesicles using a via natural or artificial opening approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. 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 0VP87KZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD7KZ (testis), 0VPM7KZ (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR7KZ (vas deferens) and 0VPS7KZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VP40KZ (open), 0VP43KZ (percutaneous), 0VP44KZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VP48KZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VP470Z (drainage device), 0VP471Z (radioactive element), 0VP473Z (infusion device), 0VP477Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VP47JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VP47YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 715 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 716 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 717 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 718 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “” and “Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”.

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