About 0VPS8KZ

0VPS8KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the penis using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 incision of penis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0VP48KZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VP88KZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VPD8KZ (testis), 0VPM8KZ (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VPR8KZ (vas deferens).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VPS0KZ (open), 0VPS3KZ (percutaneous), 0VPS4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VPS7KZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0VPS80Z (drainage device), 0VPS83Z (infusion device), 0VPS87Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VPS8JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VPS8YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 709 (Penis Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 710 (Penis Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Penis Procedures”.

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