About 0UB48ZZ

0UB48ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the uterine supporting structure using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. 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 excision or destruction of uterus and supporting structures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (69.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0UB08ZZ (right ovary), 0UB18ZZ (left ovary), 0UB28ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UB58ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UB68ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0UB78ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UB40ZZ (open), 0UB43ZZ (percutaneous), 0UB44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UB47ZZ (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.
