About 0UJH8ZZ

0UJH8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the vagina and cul-de-sac 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 Vaginoscopy and Culdoscopy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (70.21 and 70.22).

For a different body part, codes include 0UJ38ZZ (ovary), 0UJ88ZZ (fallopian tube) and 0UJD8ZZ (uterus and cervix).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UJH0ZZ (open), 0UJH3ZZ (percutaneous), 0UJH4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UJH7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UJHXZZ (external).

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

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