About 0D150J4

0D150J4 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the esophagus using an open approach with synthetic substitute (qualifier: cutaneous). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other external fistulization of esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0D110J4 (esophagus, upper), 0D120J4 (esophagus, middle), 0D130J4 (esophagus, lower), 0D160J4 (stomach), 0D180J4 (small intestine), 0D190J4 (duodenum) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0D153J4 (percutaneous), 0D154J4 (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0D158J4 (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0D15074 (autologous tissue substitute), 0D150K4 (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0D150Z4 (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 326 (Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures with MCC), DRG 327 (Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures with CC), DRG 328 (Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 821 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 822 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures”, “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

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