About 0DB78ZZ

0DB78ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the stomach, pylorus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to endoscopic excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of stomach, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (43.41).

For a different body part, codes include 0DB18ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DB28ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DB38ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DB48ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DB58ZZ (esophagus), 0DB68ZZ (stomach) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DB70ZZ (open), 0DB73ZZ (percutaneous), 0DB74ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DB77ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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.
