About 0TP94JZ

0TP94JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the ureter using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. 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 0TP54JZ (kidney), 0TPB4JZ (bladder) and 0TPD4JZ (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TP90JZ (open), 0TP93JZ (percutaneous), 0TP97JZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TP98JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0TP940Z (drainage device), 0TP942Z (monitoring device), 0TP943Z (infusion device), 0TP947Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0TP94CZ (extraluminal device), 0TP94DZ (intraluminal device) 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”.

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