About 0VWR40Z

0VWR40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the vas deferens using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage 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 0VW440Z (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW840Z (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD40Z (testis), 0VWM40Z (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VWS40Z (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWR00Z (open), 0VWR30Z (percutaneous), 0VWR70Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0VWR80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VWRX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0VWR43Z (infusion device), 0VWR47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWR4CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWR4DZ (intraluminal device), 0VWR4JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VWR4KZ (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.
