About 0U5JXZZ

0U5JXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the clitoris using an external 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 operations on clitoris, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (71.4).

For a different body part, codes include 0U5GXZZ (vagina), 0U5KXZZ (hymen), 0U5LXZZ (vestibular gland) and 0U5MXZZ (vulva).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U5J0ZZ (open).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”.

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