About 0DC34ZZ

0DC34ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the esophagus, lower using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter 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 0DC14ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DC24ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DC44ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DC54ZZ (esophagus), 0DC64ZZ (stomach), 0DC74ZZ (stomach, pylorus) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DC30ZZ (open), 0DC33ZZ (percutaneous), 0DC37ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DC38ZZ (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 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.
