About the 0U Body System
The ICD-10-PCS root operations for the Female Reproductive System in the Medical and Surgical section encompass a broad range of procedures focused on modifying, repairing, or inspecting female reproductive organs. These operations define specific types of interventions on body parts like the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix.
Examples include Bypass (code 0U1), which involves altering the passage route within a tubular structure, and Dilation (0U7), which expands an orifice or lumen, such as cervical dilation. Destruction (0U5) refers to eradicating tissue using energy or force, while Insertion (0UH) involves placing a device that assists or monitors physiological function without replacing a body part, like an intrauterine device. Resection (0UT) denotes cutting out an entire body part, such as hysterectomy. Other operations cover procedures like Inspection (0UJ) for visual exploration and Repair (0UQ) to restore anatomy and function. These codes enable detailed documentation of interventions for the female reproductive system, ensuring clinical and coding accuracy.
Questions About This Page
How many codes are in the 0U body system?
The 0U body system contains 3,033 ICD-10-PCS codes in FY 2026, organized into 23 root operations. 2,987 of them are billable on inpatient claims.
What is a root operation?
The root operation is the third character of every ICD-10-PCS code and names the objective of the procedure. Drainage takes fluid out, Excision cuts out a portion of a body part, and Resection removes all of one. Picking the right root operation is the central skill of PCS coding, so each one above carries its official CMS definition.
