About 0VP83YZ

0VP83YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the scrotum and tunica vaginalis using a percutaneous 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 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 0VP43YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VPD3YZ (testis), 0VPM3YZ (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR3YZ (vas deferens) and 0VPS3YZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VP80YZ (open), 0VP84YZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VP87YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VP88YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VP830Z (drainage device), 0VP833Z (infusion device), 0VP837Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VP83JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VP83KZ (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.
