About 0TU70KZ

0TU70KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the left ureter using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of ureter, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (56.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0TU30KZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TU40KZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TU60KZ (right ureter), 0TUB0KZ (bladder), 0TUC0KZ (bladder neck) and 0TUD0KZ (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TU74KZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TU77KZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TU78KZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0TU707Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0TU70JZ (synthetic substitute).

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 “”, “Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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