About 0THB01Z

0THB01Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the bladder using an open approach with radioactive element. 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.

For a different body part, codes include 0TH501Z (kidney), 0TH901Z (ureter) and 0THD01Z (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0THB31Z (percutaneous), 0THB41Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0THB71Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0THB81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0THB02Z (monitoring device), 0THB03Z (infusion device), 0THB0LZ (artificial sphincter), 0THB0MZ (stimulator lead) and 0THB0YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 662 (Minor Bladder Procedures with MCC), DRG 663 (Minor Bladder Procedures with CC), DRG 664 (Minor Bladder Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Minor Bladder Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
