About 0U918ZZ
0U918ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left ovary using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0U908ZZ (right ovary), 0U928ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0U948ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0U958ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0U968ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0U978ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 5 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U910ZZ (open), 0U913ZZ (percutaneous), 0U914ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0U91XZZ (external).
With a different device, use 0U9180Z (drainage device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
