About 0VPM07Z

0VPM07Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the epididymis and spermatic cord using an open 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 Epididymotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP407Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP807Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD07Z (testis), 0VPR07Z (vas deferens) and 0VPS07Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPM37Z (percutaneous), 0VPM47Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VPM77Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VPM87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VPM00Z (drainage device), 0VPM03Z (infusion device), 0VPM0CZ (extraluminal device), 0VPM0JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VPM0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VPM0YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Testes Procedures”.

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