About 0DD48ZX
0DD48ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the esophagogastric junction using a via natural or artificial opening 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 and Esophagogastroduodenoscopy [EGD] with closed biopsy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (42.24 and 45.16).
For a different body part, codes include 0DD18ZX (esophagus, upper), 0DD28ZX (esophagus, middle), 0DD38ZX (esophagus, lower), 0DD58ZX (esophagus), 0DD68ZX (stomach), 0DD78ZX (stomach, pylorus) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DD43ZX (percutaneous) and 0DD44ZX (percutaneous 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.
