About 0VP48YZ

0VP48YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the prostate and seminal vesicles using a via natural or artificial opening 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 removal of other device from genital tract, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP88YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD8YZ (testis), 0VPM8YZ (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR8YZ (vas deferens) and 0VPS8YZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VP40YZ (open), 0VP43YZ (percutaneous), 0VP44YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VP47YZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0VP480Z (drainage device), 0VP481Z (radioactive element), 0VP483Z (infusion device), 0VP487Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VP48JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VP48KZ (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.
