About 0TH53YZ
0TH53YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the kidney using a percutaneous approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Nephrotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (55.01).
For a different body part, codes include 0TH93YZ (ureter), 0THB3YZ (bladder) and 0THD3YZ (urethra).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TH50YZ (open), 0TH54YZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TH57YZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TH58YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0TH531Z (radioactive element), 0TH532Z (monitoring device) and 0TH533Z (infusion device).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
