About 0VPD77Z

0VPD77Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the testis using a via natural or artificial opening approach with autologous 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 0VP477Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP877Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPM77Z (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VPR77Z (vas deferens) and 0VPS77Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPD07Z (open), 0VPD37Z (percutaneous), 0VPD47Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VPD87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VPD70Z (drainage device), 0VPD73Z (infusion device), 0VPD7JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VPD7KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VPD7YZ (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.
