About 0U548ZZ

0U548ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the uterine supporting structure using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other excision or destruction of uterus and supporting structures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (69.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0U508ZZ (right ovary), 0U518ZZ (left ovary), 0U528ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0U558ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0U568ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0U578ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U540ZZ (open), 0U543ZZ (percutaneous) and 0U544ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 731 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with MCC), DRG 732 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with CC), DRG 733 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC) and DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy” and “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy”.

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