About 0U940ZZ

0U940ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the uterine supporting structure using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from 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 0U900ZZ (right ovary), 0U910ZZ (left ovary), 0U920ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0U950ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0U960ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0U970ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U943ZZ (percutaneous), 0U944ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0U948ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0U9400Z (drainage device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 748 (Female Reproductive System Reconstructive Procedures), under the surgical category “Female Reproductive System Reconstructive Procedures”.

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