About 0UPD0CZ

0UPD0CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the uterus and cervix using an open approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of cervix, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (69.95).

For a different body part, codes include 0UP80CZ (fallopian tube).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UPD3CZ (percutaneous), 0UPD4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UPD7CZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UPD8CZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0UPD00Z (drainage device), 0UPD01Z (radioactive element), 0UPD03Z (infusion device), 0UPD07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0UPD0DZ (intraluminal device), 0UPD0HZ (contraceptive device) and 3 more.

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.
