About 0VHM7YZ
0VHM7YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the epididymis and spermatic cord using a via natural or artificial opening 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 genitourinary instillation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (96.49).
For a different body part, codes include 0VH47YZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VH87YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VHD7YZ (testis), 0VHR7YZ (vas deferens) and 0VHS7YZ (penis).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VHM0YZ (open), 0VHM3YZ (percutaneous), 0VHM4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0VHM8YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0VHM73Z (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.
