About 0VPR3KZ

0VPR3KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the vas deferens using a percutaneous approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. 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 0VP43KZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP83KZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD3KZ (testis), 0VPM3KZ (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VPS3KZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPR0KZ (open), 0VPR4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VPR7KZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VPR8KZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VPR30Z (drainage device), 0VPR33Z (infusion device), 0VPR37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPR3CZ (extraluminal device), 0VPR3DZ (intraluminal device), 0VPR3JZ (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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
