About 0VP84YZ
0VP84YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the scrotum and tunica vaginalis using a percutaneous 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 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 0VP44YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VPD4YZ (testis), 0VPM4YZ (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR4YZ (vas deferens) and 0VPS4YZ (penis).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VP80YZ (open), 0VP83YZ (percutaneous), 0VP87YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VP88YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0VP840Z (drainage device), 0VP843Z (infusion device), 0VP847Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VP84JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VP84KZ (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.
