About 0UBC0ZZ

0UBC0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the cervix using an open 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 Conization of cervix and other excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of cervix, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (67.2 and 67.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0UB00ZZ (right ovary), 0UB10ZZ (left ovary), 0UB20ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UB40ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0UB50ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UB60ZZ (left fallopian tube) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UBC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0UBC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UBC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UBC8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”.

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