About 0VWM3YZ

0VWM3YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the epididymis and spermatic cord using a percutaneous approach with other 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 Epididymotomy and incision of spermatic cord, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (63.92 and 63.93).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW43YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW83YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD3YZ (testis), 0VWR3YZ (vas deferens) and 0VWS3YZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWM0YZ (open), 0VWM4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VWM7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VWM8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VWM30Z (drainage device), 0VWM33Z (infusion device), 0VWM37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWM3CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWM3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VWM3KZ (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 was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
