About 0D168Z4

0D168Z4 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the stomach using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach (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 gastrostomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (43.19).

For a different body part, codes include 0D118Z4 (esophagus, upper), 0D128Z4 (esophagus, middle), 0D138Z4 (esophagus, lower), 0D158Z4 (esophagus), 0D188Z4 (small intestine), 0D198Z4 (duodenum) and 8 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0D160Z4 (open) and 0D164Z4 (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0D16874 (autologous tissue substitute), 0D168J4 (synthetic substitute) and 0D168K4 (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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