About 0THD73Z

0THD73Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the urethra using a via natural or artificial opening approach with infusion 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 other genitourinary instillation, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (96.49).

For a different body part, codes include 0TH573Z (kidney), 0TH973Z (ureter) and 0THB73Z (bladder).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0THD03Z (open), 0THD33Z (percutaneous), 0THD43Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0THD83Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0THDX3Z (external).

With a different device, use 0THD71Z (radioactive element), 0THD72Z (monitoring device), 0THD7LZ (artificial sphincter) and 0THD7YZ (other device).

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.
