About 0THD41Z

0THD41Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the urethra using a percutaneous endoscopic 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 0TH541Z (kidney), 0TH941Z (ureter) and 0THB41Z (bladder).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0THD01Z (open), 0THD31Z (percutaneous), 0THD71Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0THD81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0THD42Z (monitoring device), 0THD43Z (infusion device), 0THD4LZ (artificial sphincter) and 0THD4YZ (other device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 671 (Urethral Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 672 (Urethral 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 “Urethral Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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