About 0DCL7ZZ

0DCL7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the transverse colon using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of intraluminal foreign body from large intestine without incision and removal of intraluminal foreign body from artificial stoma without incision, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (98.04 and 98.18).

For a different body part, codes include 0DC17ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DC27ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DC37ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DC47ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DC57ZZ (esophagus), 0DC67ZZ (stomach) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DCL0ZZ (open), 0DCL3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DCL4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DCL8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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.
