About 0UPD8JZ

0UPD8JZ 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 synthetic 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 0UP88JZ (fallopian tube) and 0UPH8JZ (vagina and cul-de-sac).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UPD0JZ (open), 0UPD3JZ (percutaneous), 0UPD4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UPD7JZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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 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. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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