About 0UC44ZZ

0UC44ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the uterine supporting structure using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on supporting structures of uterus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (69.98).

For a different body part, codes include 0UC04ZZ (right ovary), 0UC14ZZ (left ovary), 0UC24ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UC54ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UC64ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0UC74ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UC40ZZ (open), 0UC43ZZ (percutaneous) and 0UC48ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 748 (Female Reproductive System Reconstructive Procedures), under the surgical category “Female Reproductive System Reconstructive Procedures”.

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