About 0TB07ZX

0TB07ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right kidney using a via natural or artificial opening 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 closed [percutaneous] [needle] biopsy of kidney and biopsy of perirenal or perivesical tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (55.23 and 59.21).

For a different body part, codes include 0TB17ZX (left kidney), 0TB37ZX (right kidney pelvis), 0TB47ZX (left kidney pelvis), 0TB67ZX (right ureter), 0TB77ZX (left ureter), 0TBB7ZX (bladder) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TB00ZX (open), 0TB03ZX (percutaneous), 0TB04ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TB08ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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