About 0W4M070

0W4M070 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a creation procedure on the perineum, male using an open approach with autologous tissue substitute (qualifier: vagina). In ICD-10-PCS, creation means putting in or on biological or synthetic material to form a new body part that to the extent possible replicates the anatomic structure or function of an absent body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to operations for sex transformation, not elsewhere classified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (64.5).

With a different device, use 0W4M0J0 (synthetic substitute) and 0W4M0K0 (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 709 (Penis Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 710 (Penis Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Penis Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
