About 0VWR0YZ

0VWR0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the vas deferens using an open 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 Vasotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.6).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW40YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW80YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD0YZ (testis), 0VWM0YZ (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VWS0YZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWR3YZ (percutaneous), 0VWR4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VWR7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VWR8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VWR00Z (drainage device), 0VWR03Z (infusion device), 0VWR07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWR0CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWR0DZ (intraluminal device), 0VWR0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

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.
