About 0VW44YZ

0VW44YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the prostate and seminal vesicles using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with other 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 incision of prostate and incision of seminal vesicle, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (60.0 and 60.72).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW84YZ (scrotum and tunica vaginalis), 0VWD4YZ (testis), 0VWM4YZ (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VWR4YZ (vas deferens) and 0VWS4YZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VW40YZ (open), 0VW43YZ (percutaneous), 0VW47YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0VW48YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0VW440Z (drainage device), 0VW443Z (infusion device), 0VW447Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VW44JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0VW44KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
