About 0VPR40Z

0VPR40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the vas deferens using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage 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 0VP440Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP840Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD40Z (testis), 0VPM40Z (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VPS40Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPR00Z (open), 0VPR30Z (percutaneous), 0VPR70Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0VPR80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VPRX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0VPR43Z (infusion device), 0VPR47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPR4CZ (extraluminal device), 0VPR4DZ (intraluminal device), 0VPR4JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VPR4KZ (nonautologous tissue 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.
