About 0TP502Z

0TP502Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the kidney using an open approach with monitoring device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Nephrotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (55.01).

For a different body part, codes include 0TP902Z (ureter), 0TPB02Z (bladder) and 0TPD02Z (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TP532Z (percutaneous), 0TP542Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TP572Z (via natural or artificial opening), 0TP582Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0TP5X2Z (external).

With a different device, use 0TP500Z (drainage device), 0TP503Z (infusion device), 0TP507Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0TP50CZ (extraluminal device), 0TP50DZ (intraluminal device), 0TP50JZ (synthetic substitute) and 2 more.

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” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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