About 0UCGXZZ

0UCGXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the vagina using an external 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 intraluminal foreign body from vagina without incision, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (98.17).

For a different body part, codes include 0UCJXZZ (clitoris), 0UCKXZZ (hymen), 0UCLXZZ (vestibular gland) and 0UCMXZZ (vulva).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UCG0ZZ (open), 0UCG3ZZ (percutaneous), 0UCG4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UCG7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UCG8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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