About 0UQ68ZZ

0UQ68ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left fallopian tube using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 simple suture of fallopian tube and other repair of fallopian tube, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (66.71 and 66.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0UQ08ZZ (right ovary), 0UQ18ZZ (left ovary), 0UQ28ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UQ48ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0UQ58ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UQ78ZZ (bilateral fallopian tubes) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UQ60ZZ (open), 0UQ63ZZ (percutaneous), 0UQ64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0UQ67ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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.
