About 0UHG01Z

0UHG01Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the vagina 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.

In plain terms, this corresponds to implantation or insertion of radioactive elements, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (92.27).

For a different body part, codes include 0UH301Z (ovary), 0UH901Z (uterus) and 0UHC01Z (cervix).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UHG31Z (percutaneous), 0UHG41Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UHG71Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0UHG81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0UHGX1Z (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 744 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption with CC/MCC), DRG 745 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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