About 0UWD71Z
0UWD71Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the uterus and cervix using a via natural or artificial opening approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Hysterotomy and incision of cervix, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (68.0 and 69.95).
For a different body part, codes include 0UWH71Z (vagina and cul-de-sac).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UWD01Z (open), 0UWD31Z (percutaneous), 0UWD41Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UWD81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0UWD70Z (drainage device), 0UWD73Z (infusion device), 0UWD77Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0UWD7CZ (extraluminal device), 0UWD7DZ (intraluminal device), 0UWD7HZ (contraceptive device) and 3 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 731 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with MCC), DRG 732 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with CC), DRG 733 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy”, “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
