About 0VWDX0Z

0VWDX0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the testis using an external 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 other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW4X0Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW8X0Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWMX0Z (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VWRX0Z (vas deferens) and 0VWSX0Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWD00Z (open), 0VWD30Z (percutaneous), 0VWD40Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VWD70Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VWD80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VWDX3Z (infusion device), 0VWDX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWDXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VWDXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
