About 0ULF8ZZ

0ULF8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the cul-de-sac using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 operations on cul-de-sac, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (70.92).

For a different body part, codes include 0UL58ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UL68ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0UL78ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 0ULG8ZZ (vagina).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0ULF7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0ULF8DZ (intraluminal device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”.

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