ICD-10-PCS 0TF6XZZ converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM Procedure 98.51 Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy [ESWL] of the kidney, ureter and/or bladder.
11c When both an Inspection procedure and another procedure are performed on the same body part during the same episode, if the Inspection procedure is performed using a different approach than the other procedure, the Inspection procedure is coded separately.
ICD-10 code N20. 1 for Calculus of ureter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
52332In contrast, insertion of an indwelling or non-temporary stent (CPT® code 52332) involves the placement of a specialized self-retaining stent (e.g. J stent) into the ureter to relieve obstruction or treat ureteral injury.
Code 52356 (cystourethroscopy, with ureteroscopy and/or pyeloscopy; with lithotripsy including insertion of indwelling ureteral stent [eg, Gibbons or double-J type]) includes the performance of lithotripsy and the insertion of the indwelling stent on the same side.
fragmentationExamples of fragmentation include extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) and transurethral lithotripsy. Fragmentation is coded for procedures to break up, but not remove, solid material such as a calculus or foreign body. This root operation includes both direct and extracorporeal fragmentation procedures.

6. CPT “Separate procedure” definition: The narrative for many HCPCS/CPT codes includes a parenthetical statement that the procedure represents a "separate procedure". The inclusion of this statement indicates that the procedure can be performed separately but should not be reported when a related service is performed.
The 31 root operations are arranged into the following groupings:Root operations that take out some/all of a body part.Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gasses from a body part.Root operations involving cutting or separation only.Root operations that put in/put back or move some/all of a body part.More items...
31 root operationsThe root operation is the third character in the PCS code and describes the intent or the objective of the procedure. The majority of PCS codes reported for the inpatient setting are found in the Medical and Surgical section of ICD-10-PCS. There are 31 root operations in this section.
Cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure
Entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure
Entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach and visualize the site of the procedure
In ICD-9-CM the Alphabetic Index main term, Ureteroscopy, directs the coder to 56.31, ureteroscopy. Because the removal of the stone was unsuccessful no additional codes are necessary for complete coding.
Editor's note: This is the seventh in a series of 10 articles discussing the 31 root operations of ICD-10-PCS.
These codes are 021209W and 02100Z9. The first code identifies the use of the saphenous vein as the autologous graft. The second code does not include a device as the left internal mammary artery is the vessel "bypassed from." A third code is necessary to identify the excision of the greater saphenous vein for the graft. For this procedure, the index main term is Excision; subterm Vein, which is further subdivided by Greater Saphenous, and directs the user to Table 06B. The code assigned for this graft excision is 06BQ4ZZ.
This was a left heart catheterization which is coded to 37.22, left heart cardiac catheterization. The cardiac mapping must also be coded and review of the Alphabetic Index main term, Mapping; subterm cardiac directs the coder to 37.27, cardiac mapping.
With the table provided the coder goes directly to table 4A0. The code is completed using body part cardiac (2), approach percutaneous (3), function sampling and pressure (N), and qualifier left heart (7) for a complete code of 4A023N7. The cardiac mapping is coded using the Alphabetic Index main entry for Map, subentry conduction mechanism directing the coder to table 02K , body part conduction mechanism (8), approach percutaneous (3), no device (Z), and no qualifier (Z) for a complete code of 02K83ZZ. Conduction mechanism is the only choice in this table for body part.
The guidelines for the Ureter and Pelvis subsection of the Surgery/Urinary System section of the CPT code set were revised to specify that code 52332 , Cystourethroscopy, with insertion of indwelling ureteral stent (eg, Gibbons or double-J type), may be used in addition to the primary procedure code (s) ( 52320-52330 , 52334-52352 , 52354 , 52355 ), when reporting the insertion of a self-retaining, indwelling stent performed during diagnostic or therapeutic cystourethroscopy with ureteroscopy and/or pyeloscopy. Please refer to the CPT 2014 code set for other parenthetical notes placed following many of the existing codes in this subsection (eg, 50630 , 51702 , 52000 , 52330 , 52332 , 52334 , 52343 , 52346 , 52351, and 52353 ).
Most often ureteroscopy is used for stones in the ureter, especially for stones closest to the bladder, in the lower half of the ureter. lt is the most common treatment of lower ureteral stones. For stones in the kidney, shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is the most common treatment. SWL treatment cannot be used in everyone. For patients who are pregnant, morbidly obese, or have a blood clotting disorder, ureteroscopy is a good choice. For very large or oddly shaped stones, or stones that are very hard, other treatments such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy or, rarely, open surgery may be needed.
It is a procedure in which a small scope (like a flexible telescope) is inserted into the bladder and ureter and it is used to diagnose and treat a variety of problems in the urinary tract. For ureteral stones, it allows the urologist to actually look into the ureter, find the stone and remove it.
However, depending on the skill and experience of the surgeon , ureteroscopy can be used for virtually any stone of a size appropriate for it.
