About 0TJB8ZZ

0TJB8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the bladder using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other cystoscopy and other diagnostic procedures on perirenal tissue, perivesical tissue, and retroperitoneum, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (57.32 and 59.29).

For a different body part, codes include 0TJ58ZZ (kidney), 0TJ98ZZ (ureter) and 0TJD8ZZ (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TJB0ZZ (open), 0TJB3ZZ (percutaneous), 0TJB4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TJB7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TJBXZZ (external).

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.
