About 0UBF3ZX

0UBF3ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the cul-de-sac using a percutaneous 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 biopsy of cul-de-sac, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (70.23).

For a different body part, codes include 0UB03ZX (right ovary), 0UB13ZX (left ovary), 0UB23ZX (bilateral ovaries), 0UB43ZX (uterine supporting structure), 0UB53ZX (right fallopian tube), 0UB63ZX (left fallopian tube) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UBF0ZX (open), 0UBF4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UBF7ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UBF8ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”.

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