About 0D554ZZ

0D554ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the esophagus using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to endoscopic excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.33).

For a different body part, codes include 0D514ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0D524ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0D534ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0D544ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0D564ZZ (stomach), 0D574ZZ (stomach, pylorus) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0D550ZZ (open), 0D553ZZ (percutaneous), 0D557ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0D558ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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.
