About 0TF33ZZ
0TF33ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the right kidney pelvis using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.
In plain terms, this corresponds to percutaneous nephrostomy with fragmentation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (55.04).
For a different body part, codes include 0TF43ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TF63ZZ (right ureter), 0TF73ZZ (left ureter), 0TFB3ZZ (bladder), 0TFC3ZZ (bladder neck) and 0TFD3ZZ (urethra).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TF30ZZ (open), 0TF34ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TF37ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0TF38ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0TF3XZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 656 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 657 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with CC), DRG 658 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm without CC/MCC), DRG 659 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 660 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm with CC) and DRG 661 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “”, “Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm”, “Other O.R.
