About 0TFD8ZZ

0TFD8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the urethra using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

In plain terms, this corresponds to ultrasonic fragmentation of urinary stones, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (59.95).

For a different body part, codes include 0TF38ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TF48ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TF68ZZ (right ureter), 0TF78ZZ (left ureter), 0TFB8ZZ (bladder) and 0TFC8ZZ (bladder neck).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TFD0ZZ (open), 0TFD3ZZ (percutaneous), 0TFD4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TFD7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TFDXZZ (external).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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