About 0VPD73Z

0VPD73Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the testis using a via natural or artificial opening approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other device from genital tract, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP473Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP873Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPM73Z (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR73Z (vas deferens) and 0VPS73Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPD03Z (open), 0VPD33Z (percutaneous), 0VPD43Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VPD83Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VPDX3Z (external).

With a different device, use 0VPD70Z (drainage device), 0VPD77Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPD7JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VPD7KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VPD7YZ (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.
