About 0TBDXZZ

0TBDXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the urethra using an external 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 local excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of urethra and excision of periurethral tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (58.39 and 58.92).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TBD0ZZ (open), 0TBD3ZZ (percutaneous), 0TBD4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TBD7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TBD8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 671 (Urethral Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 672 (Urethral Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Urethral Procedures”.

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