About 0TC48ZZ

0TC48ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left kidney pelvis using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to transurethral removal of obstruction from ureter and renal pelvis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (56.0).

For a different body part, codes include 0TC08ZZ (right kidney), 0TC18ZZ (left kidney), 0TC38ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TC68ZZ (right ureter), 0TC78ZZ (left ureter), 0TCB8ZZ (bladder) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TC40ZZ (open), 0TC43ZZ (percutaneous), 0TC44ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TC47ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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.
