About 0VWR3JZ

0VWR3JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the vas deferens using a percutaneous approach with synthetic substitute. 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 0VW43JZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW83JZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD3JZ (testis), 0VWM3JZ (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VWS3JZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWR0JZ (open), 0VWR4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VWR7JZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0VWR8JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VWRXJZ (external).

With a different device, use 0VWR30Z (drainage device), 0VWR33Z (infusion device), 0VWR37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWR3CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWR3DZ (intraluminal device), 0VWR3KZ (nonautologous tissue 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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
