About 0DD34ZX

0DD34ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the esophagus, lower using a percutaneous endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to closed [endoscopic] biopsy of esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.24).

For a different body part, codes include 0DD14ZX (esophagus, upper), 0DD24ZX (esophagus, middle), 0DD44ZX (esophagogastric junction), 0DD54ZX (esophagus), 0DD64ZX (stomach), 0DD74ZX (stomach, pylorus) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DD33ZX (percutaneous) and 0DD38ZX (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 was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
