About 0TPDXLZ

0TPDXLZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the urethra using an external approach with artificial sphincter. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on urethra and periurethral tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (58.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0TPBXLZ (bladder).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TPD0LZ (open), 0TPD3LZ (percutaneous), 0TPD4LZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TPD7LZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TPD8LZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0TPDX0Z (drainage device), 0TPDX2Z (monitoring device), 0TPDX3Z (infusion device) and 0TPDXDZ (intraluminal device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 671 (Urethral Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 672 (Urethral Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 715 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R.
