About 0VWR7KZ

0VWR7KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the vas deferens using a via natural or artificial opening approach with nonautologous tissue 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 0VW47KZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VW87KZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD7KZ (testis), 0VWM7KZ (epididymis and spermatic cord) and 0VWS7KZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWR0KZ (open), 0VWR3KZ (percutaneous), 0VWR4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VWR8KZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VWRXKZ (external).

With a different device, use 0VWR70Z (drainage device), 0VWR73Z (infusion device), 0VWR77Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWR7CZ (extraluminal device), 0VWR7DZ (intraluminal device), 0VWR7JZ (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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
