About 0UB27ZX

0UB27ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the bilateral ovaries using a via natural or artificial opening approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other biopsy of ovary, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (65.12).

For a different body part, codes include 0UB07ZX (right ovary), 0UB17ZX (left ovary), 0UB47ZX (uterine supporting structure), 0UB57ZX (right fallopian tube), 0UB67ZX (left fallopian tube), 0UB77ZX (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UB20ZX (open), 0UB23ZX (percutaneous), 0UB24ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UB28ZX (via natural or artificial opening 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.
