About 0VWM47Z

0VWM47Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the epididymis and spermatic cord using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with autologous tissue substitute. 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, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW447Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW847Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD47Z (testis), 0VWR47Z (vas deferens) and 0VWS47Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWM07Z (open), 0VWM37Z (percutaneous), 0VWM77Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0VWM87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VWMX7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0VWM40Z (drainage device), 0VWM43Z (infusion device), 0VWM4CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWM4JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VWM4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VWM4YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Testes Procedures”.

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