About 0TQ63ZZ

0TQ63ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right ureter using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to suture of laceration of ureter, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (56.82).

For a different body part, codes include 0TQ03ZZ (right kidney), 0TQ13ZZ (left kidney), 0TQ33ZZ (right kidney pelvis), 0TQ43ZZ (left kidney pelvis), 0TQ73ZZ (left ureter), 0TQB3ZZ (bladder) and 2 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0TQ60ZZ (open), 0TQ64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0TQ67ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0TQ68ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 344 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures with MCC), DRG 345 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures with CC), DRG 346 (Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 656 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with MCC), DRG 657 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm with CC) and DRG 658 (Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Neoplasm without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Minor Small and Large Bowel Procedures”, “”, “Kidney and Ureter Procedures for Non-Neoplasm” and 2 more.

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