Summary
Effective November 27, 2023, Indiana Medicaid (IHCP) is removing ICD-10-PCS code 0UT70ZZ (bilateral fallopian tube resection) from the list requiring hysterectomy informed consent documentation, but it still requires sterilization consent forms. This simplifies documentation requirements for this specific procedure when performed as part of hysterectomy.
Action Required
By November 27, 2023: Billing team must update system rules for ICD-10-PCS code 0UT70ZZ to remove hysterectomy informed consent requirements while maintaining sterilization consent form requirements. Update encounter forms and provider documentation templates to reflect that this code no longer needs hysterectomy consent but still requires Consent for Sterilization form or documented exception.
