About 0TQ70ZZ

0TQ70ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left ureter using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to suture of laceration of ureter, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (56.82).

For a different body part, codes include 0TQ00ZZ (right kidney), 0TQ10ZZ (left kidney), 0TQ30ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TQ40ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TQ60ZZ (right ureter), 0TQB0ZZ (bladder) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TQ73ZZ (percutaneous), 0TQ74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TQ77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TQ78ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 344 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures with MCC), DRG 345 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures with CC), DRG 346 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 656 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 657 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with CC) and DRG 658 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures”, “”, “Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm” and 6 more.

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