About 0UBKXZX

0UBKXZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the hymen using an external 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 other diagnostic procedures on vagina and cul-de-sac, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (70.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0UBGXZX (vagina), 0UBJXZX (clitoris), 0UBLXZX (vestibular gland) and 0UBMXZX (vulva).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UBK0ZX (open), 0UBK3ZX (percutaneous), 0UBK4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UBK7ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UBK8ZX (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.
