About 0DF50ZZ

0DF50ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the esophagus using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0DF60ZZ (stomach), 0DF80ZZ (small intestine), 0DF90ZZ (duodenum), 0DFA0ZZ (jejunum), 0DFB0ZZ (ileum), 0DFE0ZZ (large intestine) and 10 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DF53ZZ (percutaneous), 0DF54ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DF57ZZ (via natural or artificial opening), 0DF58ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0DF5XZZ (external).

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.
