About 0VPD0KZ

0VPD0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the testis using an open approach with nonautologous 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 of testis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (62.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP40KZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP80KZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPM0KZ (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR0KZ (vas deferens) and 0VPS0KZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPD3KZ (percutaneous), 0VPD4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VPD7KZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VPD8KZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VPD00Z (drainage device), 0VPD03Z (infusion device), 0VPD07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPD0JZ (synthetic 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.
