About 0UQC8ZZ
0UQC8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the cervix using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of cervix, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (67.69).
For a different body part, codes include 0UQ08ZZ (right ovary), 0UQ18ZZ (left ovary), 0UQ28ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UQ48ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0UQ58ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UQ68ZZ (left fallopian tube) and 5 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UQC0ZZ (open), 0UQC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0UQC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UQC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
