About 0DDJ8ZX

0DDJ8ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the appendix 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 other operations on appendix, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (47.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0DD18ZX (esophagus, upper), 0DD28ZX (esophagus, middle), 0DD38ZX (esophagus, lower), 0DD48ZX (esophagogastric junction), 0DD58ZX (esophagus), 0DD68ZX (stomach) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DDJ3ZX (percutaneous) and 0DDJ4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 397 (Appendix Procedures with MCC), DRG 398 (Appendix Procedures with CC) and DRG 399 (Appendix Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Appendix Procedures”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
