About 0UHG8GZ

0UHG8GZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the vagina using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with intraluminal device, pessary. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to insertion of other vaginal pessary, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (96.18).

For a different body part, codes include 0UHF8GZ (cul-de-sac).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UHG7GZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0UHG81Z (radioactive element).

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.
