About 0TL63CZ

0TL63CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the right ureter using a percutaneous approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to ligation of ureter, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (56.95).

For a different body part, codes include 0TL33CZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TL43CZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TL73CZ (left ureter), 0TLB3CZ (bladder), 0TLC3CZ (bladder neck) and 0TLD3CZ (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TL60CZ (open) and 0TL64CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0TL63DZ (intraluminal device) and 0TL63ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 656 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 657 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with CC), DRG 658 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm without CC/MCC), DRG 659 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 660 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm with CC) and DRG 661 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “”, “Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
