About 0U9440Z
0U9440Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the uterine supporting structure using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with drainage device. 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 0U9040Z (right ovary), 0U9140Z (left ovary), 0U9240Z (bilateral ovaries), 0U9540Z (right fallopian tube), 0U9640Z (left fallopian tube), 0U9740Z (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 5 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U9400Z (open), 0U9430Z (percutaneous) and 0U9480Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0U944ZZ (no 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.
