About 0D9480Z

0D9480Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the esophagogastric junction using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0D9180Z (esophagus, upper), 0D9280Z (esophagus, middle), 0D9380Z (esophagus, lower), 0D9580Z (esophagus), 0D9680Z (stomach), 0D9780Z (stomach, pylorus) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0D9400Z (open), 0D9430Z (percutaneous), 0D9440Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0D9470Z (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0D948ZZ (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 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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