About 0U820ZZ
0U820ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the bilateral ovaries using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other local excision or destruction of ovary, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (65.29).
For a different body part, codes include 0U800ZZ (right ovary), 0U810ZZ (left ovary) and 0U840ZZ (uterine supporting structure).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U823ZZ (percutaneous) and 0U824ZZ (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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
