About 0UJH4ZZ

0UJH4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the vagina and cul-de-sac using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on vagina and cul-de-sac, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (70.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0UJ34ZZ (ovary), 0UJ84ZZ (fallopian tube) and 0UJD4ZZ (uterus and cervix).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UJH0ZZ (open), 0UJH3ZZ (percutaneous), 0UJH7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0UJH8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0UJHXZZ (external).

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.
