About 0VWM7KZ

0VWM7KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the epididymis and spermatic cord using a via natural or artificial opening approach with nonautologous 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 0VW47KZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW87KZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD7KZ (testis), 0VWR7KZ (vas deferens) and 0VWS7KZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWM0KZ (open), 0VWM3KZ (percutaneous), 0VWM4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VWM8KZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VWMXKZ (external).

With a different device, use 0VWM70Z (drainage device), 0VWM73Z (infusion device), 0VWM77Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWM7CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWM7JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VWM7YZ (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.
