About 0VWM8YZ
0VWM8YZ 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 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 0VW48YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW88YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD8YZ (testis), 0VWR8YZ (vas deferens) and 0VWS8YZ (penis).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWM0YZ (open), 0VWM3YZ (percutaneous), 0VWM4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VWM7YZ (via natural or artificial opening).
With a different device, use 0VWM80Z (drainage device), 0VWM83Z (infusion device), 0VWM87Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWM8CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWM8JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VWM8KZ (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.
