About 0VPM4YZ

0VPM4YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the epididymis and spermatic cord using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Epididymotomy and incision of spermatic cord, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (63.92 and 63.93).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP44YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP84YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD4YZ (testis), 0VPR4YZ (vas deferens) and 0VPS4YZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPM0YZ (open), 0VPM3YZ (percutaneous), 0VPM7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VPM8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VPM40Z (drainage device), 0VPM43Z (infusion device), 0VPM47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPM4CZ (extraluminal device), 0VPM4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VPM4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
