About 0VUN8JZ

0VUN8JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the right vas deferens using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of vas deferens and epididymis and insertion of valve in vas deferens, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (63.89 and 63.95).

For a different body part, codes include 0VU18JZ (right seminal vesicle), 0VU28JZ (left seminal vesicle), 0VU38JZ (bilateral seminal vesicles), 0VU68JZ (right tunica vaginalis), 0VU78JZ (left tunica vaginalis), 0VUF8JZ (right spermatic cord) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VUN0JZ (open) and 0VUN4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VUN87Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0VUN8KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 711 (Testes Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 712 (Testes Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Testes Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
