About 0UCC3ZZ

0UCC3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the cervix using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other penetrating foreign body from cervix, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (69.97).

For a different body part, codes include 0UC03ZZ (right ovary), 0UC13ZZ (left ovary), 0UC23ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UC43ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0UC53ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UC63ZZ (left fallopian tube) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UCC0ZZ (open), 0UCC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UCC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UCC8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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