About 0VHM3YZ
0VHM3YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the epididymis and spermatic cord using a percutaneous approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0VH43YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VH83YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VHD3YZ (testis), 0VHR3YZ (vas deferens) and 0VHS3YZ (penis).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VHM0YZ (open), 0VHM4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VHM7YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VHM8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0VHM33Z (infusion device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
