About 0UC78ZZ
0UC78ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the bilateral fallopian tubes using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Salpingotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (66.01).
For a different body part, codes include 0UC08ZZ (right ovary), 0UC18ZZ (left ovary), 0UC28ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UC48ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0UC58ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UC68ZZ (left fallopian tube) and 6 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UC70ZZ (open), 0UC73ZZ (percutaneous), 0UC74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UC77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 731 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with MCC), DRG 732 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with CC), DRG 733 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC) and DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy” and “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
