About 0T823ZZ
0T823ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a division procedure on the bilateral kidneys using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, division means cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Symphysiotomy for horseshoe kidney, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (55.85).
For a different body part, codes include 0T8C3ZZ (bladder neck).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0T820ZZ (open) and 0T824ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 656 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 657 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with CC), DRG 658 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm without CC/MCC), DRG 659 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 660 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm with CC) and DRG 661 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “” and “Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
