About 0U5C8ZZ

0U5C8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the cervix using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to destruction of lesion of cervix by cauterization, destruction of lesion of cervix by cryosurgery and other excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of cervix, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (67.32, 67.33 and 67.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0U508ZZ (right ovary), 0U518ZZ (left ovary), 0U528ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0U548ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0U558ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0U568ZZ (left fallopian tube) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U5C0ZZ (open), 0U5C3ZZ (percutaneous), 0U5C4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0U5C7ZZ (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) and DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”.

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