About 0VP837Z

0VP837Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the scrotum and tunica vaginalis using a percutaneous approach with autologous 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 and drainage of scrotum and tunica vaginalis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP437Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VPD37Z (testis), 0VPM37Z (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR37Z (vas deferens) and 0VPS37Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VP807Z (open), 0VP847Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VP877Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VP887Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VP830Z (drainage device), 0VP833Z (infusion device), 0VP83JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VP83KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VP83YZ (other device).

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.
