0UPD71Z ICD-10-PCS Code: Removal of Radioactive Element from Uterus and Cervix, Via Natural or Artificial Opening
Removal of Radioact Elem from Uterus & Cervix, Via Opening
Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body SystemU | Female Reproductive System |
| 3 | Root OperationP | Removal Taking out or off a device from a body part |
| 4 | Body PartD | Uterus and Cervix |
| 5 | Approach7 | Via Natural or Artificial Opening |
| 6 | Device1 | Radioactive Element |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 8 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 13 — Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy: DRG 742, DRG 743
- MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
- MDC 24 — Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma: DRG 957, DRG 958, DRG 959
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
