About 0T9D8ZZ

0T9D8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the urethra using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of periurethral tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (58.91).

For a different body part, codes include 0T908ZZ (right kidney), 0T918ZZ (left kidney), 0T938ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0T948ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0T968ZZ (right ureter), 0T978ZZ (left ureter) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0T9D0ZZ (open), 0T9D3ZZ (percutaneous), 0T9D4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0T9D7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0T9DXZZ (external).

With a different device, use 0T9D80Z (drainage device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 671 (Urethral Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 672 (Urethral Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Urethral Procedures”.

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