About 0U968ZX

0U968ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left fallopian tube using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to biopsy of fallopian tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (66.11).

For a different body part, codes include 0U908ZX (right ovary), 0U918ZX (left ovary), 0U928ZX (bilateral ovaries), 0U948ZX (uterine supporting structure), 0U958ZX (right fallopian tube), 0U978ZX (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U960ZX (open), 0U963ZX (percutaneous), 0U964ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0U967ZX (via natural or artificial opening).

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.
