About 0UT48ZZ
0UT48ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the uterine supporting structure using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 operations on supporting structures of uterus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (69.98).
For a different body part, codes include 0UT08ZZ (right ovary), 0UT18ZZ (left ovary), 0UT28ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UT58ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UT68ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0UT78ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 5 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UT40ZZ (open), 0UT44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UT47ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 748 (Female Reproductive System Reconstructive Procedures), DRG 734 (Pelvic Evisceration, Radical Hysterectomy and Radical Vulvectomy with CC/MCC) and DRG 735 (Pelvic Evisceration, Radical Hysterectomy and Radical Vulvectomy without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Female Reproductive System Reconstructive Procedures” and “Pelvic Evisceration, Radical Hysterectomy and Radical Vulvectomy”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
