About 0VPS4JZ

0VPS4JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the penis using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of internal prosthesis of penis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.96).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP44JZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP84JZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD4JZ (testis), 0VPM4JZ (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VPR4JZ (vas deferens).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPS0JZ (open), 0VPS3JZ (percutaneous), 0VPS7JZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VPS8JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VPS40Z (drainage device), 0VPS43Z (infusion device), 0VPS47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPS4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VPS4YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 673 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with MCC), DRG 674 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with CC), DRG 675 (Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 709 (Penis Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 710 (Penis Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures” and “Penis Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
