About 0UPD8HZ

0UPD8HZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the uterus and cervix using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with contraceptive device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of intrauterine contraceptive device and removal of vaginal diaphragm, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (97.71 and 97.73).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UPD0HZ (open), 0UPD3HZ (percutaneous), 0UPD4HZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UPD7HZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UPDXHZ (external).

With a different device, use 0UPD80Z (drainage device), 0UPD81Z (radioactive element), 0UPD83Z (infusion device), 0UPD87Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0UPD8CZ (extraluminal device), 0UPD8DZ (intraluminal device) and 3 more.

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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