About 0TB00ZX

0TB00ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right kidney using an open approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to open biopsy of kidney and biopsy of perirenal or perivesical tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (55.24 and 59.21).

For a different body part, codes include 0TB10ZX (left kidney), 0TB30ZX (right kidney pelvis), 0TB40ZX (left kidney pelvis), 0TB60ZX (right ureter), 0TB70ZX (left ureter), 0TBB0ZX (bladder) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TB03ZX (percutaneous), 0TB04ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TB07ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TB08ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 656 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 657 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with CC) and DRG 658 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”, “”, “Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm” and 5 more.
