About 0TU787Z

0TU787Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the left ureter using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with autologous 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 0TU387Z (right kidney pelvis), 0TU487Z (left kidney pelvis), 0TU687Z (right ureter), 0TUB87Z (bladder), 0TUC87Z (bladder neck) and 0TUD87Z (urethra).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TU707Z (open), 0TU747Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TU777Z (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0TU78JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0TU78KZ (nonautologous tissue 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.
