About 0TH97YZ

0TH97YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the ureter using a via natural or artificial opening 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 Ureterotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (56.2).

For a different body part, codes include 0TH57YZ (kidney), 0THB7YZ (bladder) and 0THD7YZ (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TH90YZ (open), 0TH93YZ (percutaneous), 0TH94YZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TH98YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0TH971Z (radioactive element), 0TH972Z (monitoring device), 0TH973Z (infusion device) and 0TH97MZ (stimulator lead).

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.
