About 0TF70ZZ

0TF70ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the left ureter using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

In plain terms, this corresponds to ultrasonic fragmentation of urinary stones, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (59.95).

For a different body part, codes include 0TF30ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TF40ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TF60ZZ (right ureter), 0TFB0ZZ (bladder), 0TFC0ZZ (bladder neck) and 0TFD0ZZ (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TF73ZZ (percutaneous), 0TF74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TF77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0TF78ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0TF7XZZ (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.
