About 0TNB0ZZ

0TNB0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the bladder using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to lysis of intraluminal adhesions with incision into bladder and other lysis of perivesical adhesions, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (57.12 and 59.11).

For a different body part, codes include 0TN00ZZ (right kidney), 0TN10ZZ (left kidney), 0TN30ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TN40ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TN60ZZ (right ureter), 0TN70ZZ (left ureter) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TNB3ZZ (percutaneous), 0TNB4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TNB7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TNB8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 662 (Minor Bladder Procedures with MCC), DRG 663 (Minor Bladder Procedures with CC), DRG 664 (Minor Bladder 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 “Minor Bladder Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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