About 0D15879

0D15879 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the esophagus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with autologous tissue substitute (qualifier: duodenum). 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 intrathoracic esophageal anastomosis with interposition of small bowel and other intrathoracic esophagoenterostomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (42.53 and 42.54).

For a different body part, codes include 0D11879 (esophagus, upper), 0D12879 (esophagus, middle), 0D13879 (esophagus, lower), 0D16879 (stomach) and 0D19879 (duodenum).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0D15079 (open) and 0D15479 (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0D158J9 (synthetic substitute), 0D158K9 (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 0D158Z9 (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.
