About 0UQM0ZZ
0UQM0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the vulva using an open 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 vulva and perineum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (71.79).
For a different body part, codes include 0UQ00ZZ (right ovary), 0UQ10ZZ (left ovary), 0UQ20ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UQ40ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0UQ50ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UQ60ZZ (left fallopian tube) and 8 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UQMXZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 344 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures with MCC), DRG 345 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures with CC), DRG 346 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures” and 2 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
