About 0VPD00Z

0VPD00Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the testis using an open approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of testis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (62.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP400Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP800Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPM00Z (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR00Z (vas deferens) and 0VPS00Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPD30Z (percutaneous), 0VPD40Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VPD70Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0VPD80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VPDX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0VPD03Z (infusion device), 0VPD07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPD0JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VPD0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VPD0YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Testes Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
