About 0UH901Z

0UH901Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the uterus using an open approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

For a different body part, codes include 0UH301Z (ovary), 0UHC01Z (cervix) and 0UHG01Z (vagina).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UH971Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UH981Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0UH90HZ (contraceptive device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
