About 0TJ54ZZ
0TJ54ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the kidney using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Nephroscopy and other diagnostic procedures on perirenal tissue, perivesical tissue, and retroperitoneum, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (55.21 and 59.29).
For a different body part, codes include 0TJ94ZZ (ureter), 0TJB4ZZ (bladder) and 0TJD4ZZ (urethra).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TJ50ZZ (open), 0TJ53ZZ (percutaneous), 0TJ57ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0TJ58ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0TJ5XZZ (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.
