About 0TP97KZ

0TP97KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the ureter using a via natural or artificial opening approach with nonautologous tissue 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 0TP57KZ (kidney), 0TPB7KZ (bladder) and 0TPD7KZ (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TP90KZ (open), 0TP93KZ (percutaneous), 0TP94KZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TP98KZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0TP970Z (drainage device), 0TP972Z (monitoring device), 0TP973Z (infusion device), 0TP977Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0TP97CZ (extraluminal device), 0TP97DZ (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.
