About 0UB94ZX

0UB94ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the uterus using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 closed biopsy of uterus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (68.16).

For a different body part, codes include 0UB04ZX (right ovary), 0UB14ZX (left ovary), 0UB24ZX (bilateral ovaries), 0UB44ZX (uterine supporting structure), 0UB54ZX (right fallopian tube), 0UB64ZX (left fallopian tube) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UB90ZX (open), 0UB93ZX (percutaneous), 0UB97ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UB98ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 744 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption with CC/MCC) and DRG 745 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
