About 0UL70CZ

0UL70CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the bilateral fallopian tubes using an open approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other bilateral destruction or occlusion of fallopian tubes, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (66.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0UL50CZ (right fallopian tube) and 0UL60CZ (left fallopian tube).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UL73CZ (percutaneous) and 0UL74CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0UL70DZ (intraluminal device) and 0UL70ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 744 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption with CC/MCC), DRG 745 (D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption without CC/MCC), DRG 783 (Cesarean Section with Sterilization with MCC), DRG 784 (Cesarean Section with Sterilization with CC), DRG 785 (Cesarean Section with Sterilization without CC/MCC) and DRG 796 (Vaginal Delivery with Sterilization and/or D&C with MCC), under the surgical categories “D&C, Conization, Laparoscopy and Tubal Interruption”, “Cesarean Section with Sterilization” and “Vaginal Delivery with Sterilization and/or D&C”.

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