About 0VW830Z

0VW830Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the scrotum and tunica vaginalis using a percutaneous approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision and drainage of scrotum and tunica vaginalis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW430Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VWD30Z (testis), 0VWM30Z (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VWR30Z (vas deferens) and 0VWS30Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VW800Z (open), 0VW840Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VW870Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0VW880Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VW8X0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0VW833Z (infusion device), 0VW837Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VW83JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VW83KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VW83YZ (other device).

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.
