About 10A08ZZ

10A08ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a abortion procedure on the products of conception using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, abortion means artificially terminating a pregnancy.

In plain terms, this corresponds to dilation and curettage for termination of pregnancy and aspiration curettage of uterus for termination of pregnancy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (69.01 and 69.51).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 10A00ZZ (open), 10A03ZZ (percutaneous), 10A04ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 10A07ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 770 (Abortion with D&C, Aspiration Curettage or Hysterotomy), under the surgical category “Abortion with D&C, Aspiration Curettage or Hysterotomy”.

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