About 0UJ38ZZ

0UJ38ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the ovary using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other nonoperative measurements and examinations, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (89.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0UJ88ZZ (fallopian tube), 0UJD8ZZ (uterus and cervix) and 0UJH8ZZ (vagina and cul-de-sac).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UJ30ZZ (open), 0UJ33ZZ (percutaneous), 0UJ34ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UJ3XZZ (external).

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 FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
