About 0VPR0YZ

0VPR0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the vas deferens using an open 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 Vasotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.6).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP40YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP80YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD0YZ (testis), 0VPM0YZ (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VPS0YZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPR3YZ (percutaneous), 0VPR4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VPR7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VPR8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VPR00Z (drainage device), 0VPR03Z (infusion device), 0VPR07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPR0CZ (extraluminal device), 0VPR0DZ (intraluminal device), 0VPR0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

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.
