About 0THDX2Z

0THDX2Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the urethra using an external approach with monitoring 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 Urethrotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (58.0).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0THD02Z (open), 0THD32Z (percutaneous), 0THD42Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0THD72Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0THD82Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0THDX3Z (infusion device) and 0THDXLZ (artificial sphincter).

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 has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
