About 0TBC7ZZ
0TBC7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the bladder neck using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other transurethral excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of bladder, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (57.49).
For a different body part, codes include 0TB07ZZ (right kidney), 0TB17ZZ (left kidney), 0TB37ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TB47ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TB67ZZ (right ureter), 0TB77ZZ (left ureter) and 2 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TBC0ZZ (open), 0TBC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0TBC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0TBC8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 668 (Transurethral Procedures with MCC), DRG 669 (Transurethral Procedures with CC), DRG 670 (Transurethral Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 715 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy with CC/MCC), DRG 716 (Male Reproductive System and Other O.R. Procedures for Malignancy without CC/MCC) and DRG 717 (Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Transurethral Procedures”, “” and “Other Male Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
