About 0UPD77Z

0UPD77Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the uterus and cervix using a via natural or artificial opening approach with autologous tissue substitute. 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 0UP877Z (fallopian tube) and 0UPH77Z (vagina and cul-de-sac).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UPD07Z (open), 0UPD37Z (percutaneous), 0UPD47Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UPD87Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0UPD70Z (drainage device), 0UPD71Z (radioactive element), 0UPD73Z (infusion device), 0UPD7CZ (extraluminal device), 0UPD7DZ (intraluminal device), 0UPD7HZ (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.
