About 0TJD0ZZ

0TJD0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the urethra using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TJD3ZZ (percutaneous), 0TJD4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TJD7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0TJD8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0TJDXZZ (external).

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 749 (Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 750 (Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC) and DRG 908 (Other O.R.
