About 0TBD7ZX
0TBD7ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the urethra 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 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 0TB07ZX (right kidney), 0TB17ZX (left kidney), 0TB37ZX (right kidney pelvis), 0TB47ZX (left kidney pelvis), 0TB67ZX (right ureter), 0TB77ZX (left ureter) and 2 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TBD0ZX (open), 0TBD3ZX (percutaneous), 0TBD4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic), 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.
