About 0TBD0ZX

0TBD0ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the urethra 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 biopsy of urethra and biopsy of periurethral tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (58.23 and 58.24).

For a different body part, codes include 0TB00ZX (right kidney), 0TB10ZX (left kidney), 0TB30ZX (right kidney pelvis), 0TB40ZX (left kidney pelvis), 0TB60ZX (right ureter), 0TB70ZX (left ureter) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TBD3ZX (percutaneous), 0TBD4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TBD7ZX (via natural or artificial opening), 0TBD8ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0TBDXZX (external).

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.
