About 0DTJ4ZZ
0DTJ4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the appendix using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to laparoscopic appendectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (47.01).
For a different body part, codes include 0DT14ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DT24ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DT34ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DT44ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DT54ZZ (esophagus), 0DT64ZZ (stomach) and 18 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DTJ0ZZ (open), 0DTJ7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DTJ8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 397 (Appendix Procedures with MCC), DRG 398 (Appendix Procedures with CC), DRG 399 (Appendix Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 749 (Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 750 (Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Appendix Procedures”, “Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
