About 0UQ20ZZ

0UQ20ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the bilateral ovaries using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other simple suture of ovary and other repair of ovary, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (65.71 and 65.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0UQ00ZZ (right ovary), 0UQ10ZZ (left ovary), 0UQ40ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0UQ50ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UQ60ZZ (left fallopian tube), 0UQ70ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UQ23ZZ (percutaneous), 0UQ24ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UQ28ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 731 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with MCC), DRG 732 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy with CC), DRG 733 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Malignancy”, “Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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