About 0VPR8DZ

0VPR8DZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the vas deferens using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with intraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other device from genital tract, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.79).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPR0DZ (open), 0VPR3DZ (percutaneous), 0VPR4DZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VPR7DZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VPRXDZ (external).

With a different device, use 0VPR80Z (drainage device), 0VPR83Z (infusion device), 0VPR87Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPR8CZ (extraluminal device), 0VPR8JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VPR8KZ (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.
