About 0VP84JZ

0VP84JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the scrotum and tunica vaginalis using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic 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 0VP44JZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VPD4JZ (testis), 0VPM4JZ (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR4JZ (vas deferens) and 0VPS4JZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VP80JZ (open), 0VP83JZ (percutaneous), 0VP87JZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VP88JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VP840Z (drainage device), 0VP843Z (infusion device), 0VP847Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VP84KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VP84YZ (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.
