About 0D557ZZ

0D557ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the esophagus using a via natural or artificial opening 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 other destruction of lesion or tissue of esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.39).

For a different body part, codes include 0D517ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0D527ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0D537ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0D547ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0D567ZZ (stomach), 0D577ZZ (stomach, pylorus) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0D550ZZ (open), 0D553ZZ (percutaneous), 0D554ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0D558ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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” and “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures”.

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