About 0UT20ZZ

0UT20ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the bilateral ovaries using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other removal of both ovaries at same operative episode, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (65.51).

For a different body part, codes include 0UT00ZZ (right ovary), 0UT10ZZ (left ovary), 0UT40ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0UT50ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UT60ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0UT70ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UT24ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UT27ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0UT28ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0UT2FZZ (via natural or artificial opening with percutaneous endoscopic assistance).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 731 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with MCC), DRG 732 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with CC) and DRG 733 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy” and “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy”.

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