About 0TP93CZ
0TP93CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the ureter using a percutaneous approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Ureterotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (56.2).
For a different body part, codes include 0TP53CZ (kidney), 0TPB3CZ (bladder) and 0TPD3CZ (urethra).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TP90CZ (open), 0TP94CZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TP97CZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TP98CZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0TP930Z (drainage device), 0TP932Z (monitoring device), 0TP933Z (infusion device), 0TP937Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0TP93DZ (intraluminal device), 0TP93JZ (synthetic substitute) and 3 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 “” and “Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm”.
