About 0U550ZZ

0U550ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right fallopian tube using an open 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 excision or destruction of lesion of fallopian tube and unilateral destruction or occlusion of fallopian tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (66.61 and 66.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0U500ZZ (right ovary), 0U510ZZ (left ovary), 0U520ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0U540ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0U560ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0U570ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 9 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U553ZZ (percutaneous), 0U554ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0U557ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0U558ZZ (via natural or artificial opening 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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
