About 0TBC7ZX

0TBC7ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the bladder neck 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 [transurethral] biopsy of bladder and biopsy of perirenal or perivesical tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (57.33 and 59.21).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TBC0ZX (open), 0TBC3ZX (percutaneous), 0TBC4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TBC8ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 668 (Transurethral Procedures with MCC), DRG 669 (Transurethral Procedures with CC), DRG 670 (Transurethral Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 715 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R.
