About 0UBKXZZ
0UBKXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the hymen using an external 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 Hymenectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (70.31).
For a different body part, codes include 0UBGXZZ (vagina), 0UBJXZZ (clitoris), 0UBLXZZ (vestibular gland) and 0UBMXZZ (vulva).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UBK0ZZ (open), 0UBK3ZZ (percutaneous), 0UBK4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UBK7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UBK8ZZ (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.
