About 0U577ZZ

0U577ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the bilateral fallopian tubes using a via natural or artificial opening 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 bilateral destruction or occlusion of fallopian tubes and excision or destruction of lesion of fallopian tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (66.39 and 66.61).

For a different body part, codes include 0U557ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0U567ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0U597ZZ (uterus), 0U5B7ZZ (endometrium), 0U5C7ZZ (cervix), 0U5F7ZZ (cul-de-sac) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U570ZZ (open), 0U573ZZ (percutaneous), 0U574ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0U578ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 744 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption with CC/MCC), DRG 745 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption without CC/MCC), DRG 783 (Cesarean Section with Sterilization with MCC), DRG 784 (Cesarean Section with Sterilization with CC), DRG 785 (Cesarean Section with Sterilization without CC/MCC) and DRG 796 (Vaginal Delivery with Sterilization and/or D&C with MCC), under the surgical categories “D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption”, “Cesarean Section with Sterilization” and “Vaginal Delivery with Sterilization and/or D&C”.

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