About 0UPDX0Z

0UPDX0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the uterus and cervix using an external approach with drainage 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 other device from genital tract, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0UP3X0Z (ovary), 0UP8X0Z (fallopian tube), 0UPHX0Z (vagina and cul-de-sac) and 0UPMX0Z (vulva).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UPD00Z (open), 0UPD30Z (percutaneous), 0UPD40Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UPD70Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UPD80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0UPDX3Z (infusion device), 0UPDXDZ (intraluminal device) and 0UPDXHZ (contraceptive device).

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.
