About 0VUQ8KZ
0VUQ8KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the bilateral vas deferens using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue 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 repair of vas deferens and epididymis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.89).
For a different body part, codes include 0VU18KZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VU28KZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VU38KZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0VU68KZ (right tunica vaginalis), 0VU78KZ (left tunica vaginalis), 0VUF8KZ (right spermatic cord) and 7 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VUQ0KZ (open) and 0VUQ4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0VUQ87Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0VUQ8JZ (synthetic substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Testes Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
