About 0U9G40Z

0U9G40Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the vagina 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 vaginotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (70.14).

For a different body part, codes include 0U9040Z (right ovary), 0U9140Z (left ovary), 0U9240Z (bilateral ovaries), 0U9440Z (uterine supporting structure), 0U9540Z (right fallopian tube), 0U9640Z (left fallopian tube) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0U9G00Z (open), 0U9G30Z (percutaneous), 0U9G70Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0U9G80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0U9GX0Z (external).

With a different device, use 0U9G4ZZ (no device).

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.
