About 0VWM7YZ

0VWM7YZ 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 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, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW47YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW87YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD7YZ (testis), 0VWR7YZ (vas deferens) and 0VWS7YZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWM0YZ (open), 0VWM3YZ (percutaneous), 0VWM4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VWM8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VWM70Z (drainage device), 0VWM73Z (infusion device), 0VWM77Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWM7CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWM7JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VWM7KZ (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.
