About 0VPR7CZ

0VPR7CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the vas deferens using a via natural or artificial opening approach with extraluminal 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 0VPM7CZ (epididymis and spermatic cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPR0CZ (open), 0VPR3CZ (percutaneous), 0VPR4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VPR8CZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VPR70Z (drainage device), 0VPR73Z (infusion device), 0VPR77Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPR7DZ (intraluminal device), 0VPR7JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VPR7KZ (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.
