About 0UBC7ZX

0UBC7ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the cervix 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 Endocervical biopsy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (67.11).

For a different body part, codes include 0UB07ZX (right ovary), 0UB17ZX (left ovary), 0UB27ZX (bilateral ovaries), 0UB47ZX (uterine supporting structure), 0UB57ZX (right fallopian tube), 0UB67ZX (left fallopian tube) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UBC0ZX (open), 0UBC3ZX (percutaneous), 0UBC4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UBC8ZX (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 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 categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and “D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption”.

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