About 0UPD41Z

0UPD41Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the uterus and cervix using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Hysterotomy and incision of cervix, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (68.0 and 69.95).

For a different body part, codes include 0UPH41Z (vagina and cul-de-sac).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UPD01Z (open), 0UPD31Z (percutaneous), 0UPD71Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UPD81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0UPD40Z (drainage device), 0UPD43Z (infusion device), 0UPD47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0UPD4CZ (extraluminal device), 0UPD4DZ (intraluminal device), 0UPD4HZ (contraceptive device) and 3 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 731 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with MCC), DRG 732 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with CC), DRG 733 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy”, “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy”, “Other O.R.
