About 0THDX3Z

0THDX3Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the urethra using an external 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 miscellaneous procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.99).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0THD03Z (open), 0THD33Z (percutaneous), 0THD43Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0THD73Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0THD83Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0THDX2Z (monitoring device) and 0THDXLZ (artificial sphincter).

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.
