About 0TP9X2Z

0TP9X2Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the ureter using an external 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 removal of other device from urinary system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.69).

For a different body part, codes include 0TP5X2Z (kidney), 0TPBX2Z (bladder) and 0TPDX2Z (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TP902Z (open), 0TP932Z (percutaneous), 0TP942Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TP972Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TP982Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0TP9X0Z (drainage device), 0TP9X3Z (infusion device), 0TP9XDZ (intraluminal device) and 0TP9XMZ (stimulator lead).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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