About 0TNC8ZZ

0TNC8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the bladder neck using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic 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 transurethral lysis of intraluminal adhesions, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (57.41).

For a different body part, codes include 0TN08ZZ (right kidney), 0TN18ZZ (left kidney), 0TN38ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TN48ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TN68ZZ (right ureter), 0TN78ZZ (left ureter) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TNC0ZZ (open), 0TNC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0TNC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TNC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 668 (Transurethral Procedures with MCC), DRG 669 (Transurethral Procedures with CC) and DRG 670 (Transurethral Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Transurethral Procedures”.

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