About 0VWM83Z

0VWM83Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the epididymis and spermatic cord using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with infusion 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 0VW483Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW883Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD83Z (testis), 0VWR83Z (vas deferens) and 0VWS83Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWM03Z (open), 0VWM33Z (percutaneous), 0VWM43Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VWM73Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VWMX3Z (external).

With a different device, use 0VWM80Z (drainage device), 0VWM87Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWM8CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWM8JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VWM8KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VWM8YZ (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.
