About 0VWR8CZ

0VWR8CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the vas deferens using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 Vasotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (63.6).

For a different body part, codes include 0VWM8CZ (epididymis and spermatic cord).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VWR0CZ (open), 0VWR3CZ (percutaneous), 0VWR4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VWR7CZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VWRXCZ (external).

With a different device, use 0VWR80Z (drainage device), 0VWR83Z (infusion device), 0VWR87Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VWR8DZ (intraluminal device), 0VWR8JZ (synthetic substitute), 0VWR8KZ (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.
