About 0VU30JZ

0VU30JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the bilateral seminal vesicles using an open approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on seminal vesicles, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (60.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0VU10JZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VU20JZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VU50JZ (scrotum), 0VU60JZ (right tunica vaginalis), 0VU70JZ (left tunica vaginalis), 0VU90JZ (right testis) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VU34JZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VU38JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VU307Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0VU30KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 715 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 716 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 717 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 718 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “” and “Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”.

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