N20.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of calculus of kidney with calculus of ureter. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. A kidney stone, also known as a renal calculus or nephrolith, is a solid piece of material which is formed in the kidneys from minerals in urine.

A kidney stone, also known as a renal calculus or nephrolith, is a solid piece of material which is formed in the kidneys from minerals in urine. Kidney stones typically leave the body in the urine stream, and a small stone may pass without causing symptoms. If stones grow to sufficient size (usually at least 3 millimeters (0.1 in)) they can cause blockage of the ureter. This leads to pain, most commonly beginning in the flank or lower back and often radiating to the groin. This pain is often known as renal colic and typically comes in waves lasting 20 to 60 minutes. Other associated symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, fever, blood in the urine, pus in the urine, and painful urination. Blockage of the ureter can cause decreased kidney function and dilation of the kidney.
This pain is often known as renal colic and typically comes in waves lasting 20 to 60 minutes.
There is a body part for “kidney pelvis” which is further defined by left and right. The correct code for this procedure is 0TC43ZZ, percutaneous removal of a staghorn calculus from the left renal pelvis.
Editor’s note: This is the third in a series of 10 articles discussing the 31 root operations of ICD-10-PCS.
Consider the example of a percutaneous thrombectomy of the left radial artery, which is coded to 03CC3ZZ:
The correct code for a diagnostic lumbar puncture in ICD-10-PCS is 009U3ZX.
It is important to note that fragmentation cannot be coded with extirpation. For additional information, review the procedure coding for an ESWL of the bilateral ureters. This procedure requires two codes, 0TF7XZZ and 0TF6XZZ, as there is not a bilateral body part value for the ureter.
