About 0D960ZZ
0D960ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the stomach using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Gastrotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (43.0).
For a different body part, codes include 0D910ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0D920ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0D930ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0D940ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0D950ZZ (esophagus), 0D970ZZ (stomach, pylorus) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0D963ZZ (percutaneous), 0D964ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0D967ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0D968ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0D9600Z (drainage 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 423 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 424 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 425 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R.
