About 04LF0ZU

04LF0ZU is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the left internal iliac artery using an open approach (qualifier: left uterine artery). In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to uterine artery embolization [UAE] without coils, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (68.25).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 04LF3ZU (percutaneous) and 04LF4ZU (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 04LF0CU (extraluminal device) and 04LF0DU (intraluminal device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 749 (Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 750 (Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”.

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