About 0VWMXCZ

0VWMXCZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the epididymis and spermatic cord using an external approach with extraluminal 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 other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0VWRXCZ (vas deferens).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWM0CZ (open), 0VWM3CZ (percutaneous), 0VWM4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VWM7CZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VWM8CZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VWMX0Z (drainage device), 0VWMX3Z (infusion device), 0VWMX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWMXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VWMXKZ (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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
