About 0UL73ZZ
0UL73ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the bilateral fallopian tubes using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other bilateral ligation and crushing of fallopian tubes, other bilateral ligation and division of fallopian tubes and other bilateral destruction or occlusion of fallopian tubes, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (66.31, 66.32 and 66.39).
For a different body part, codes include 0UL53ZZ (right fallopian tube) and 0UL63ZZ (left fallopian tube).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UL70ZZ (open), 0UL74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UL77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UL78ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0UL73CZ (extraluminal device) and 0UL73DZ (intraluminal device).
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 783 (Cesarean Section with Sterilization with MCC), DRG 784 (Cesarean Section with Sterilization with CC), DRG 785 (Cesarean Section with Sterilization without CC/MCC) and DRG 796 (Vaginal Delivery with Sterilization and/or D&C with MCC), under the surgical categories “D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption”, “Cesarean Section with Sterilization” and “Vaginal Delivery with Sterilization and/or D&C”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
