About 0U9K7ZX
0U9K7ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the hymen using a via natural or artificial opening 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 other diagnostic procedures on vagina and cul-de-sac, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (70.29).
For a different body part, codes include 0U957ZX (right fallopian tube), 0U967ZX (left fallopian tube), 0U977ZX (bilateral fallopian tubes), 0U997ZX (uterus), 0U9C7ZX (cervix), 0U9F7ZX (cul-de-sac) and 1 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U9K0ZX (open), 0U9K3ZX (percutaneous), 0U9K4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 0U9K8ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0U9KXZX (external).
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.
