About 0VW80JZ

0VW80JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the scrotum and tunica vaginalis using an open approach with synthetic substitute. 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 and drainage of scrotum and tunica vaginalis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (61.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0VW40JZ (prostate and seminal vesicles), 0VWD0JZ (testis), 0VWM0JZ (epididymis and spermatic cord), 0VWR0JZ (vas deferens) and 0VWS0JZ (penis).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0VW83JZ (percutaneous), 0VW84JZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0VW87JZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0VW88JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0VW8XJZ (external).

With a different device, use 0VW800Z (drainage device), 0VW803Z (infusion device), 0VW807Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0VW80KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0VW80YZ (other device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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