About 0DFMXZZ

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

In plain terms, this corresponds to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of other sites, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (98.59).

For a different body part, codes include 0DF5XZZ (esophagus), 0DF6XZZ (stomach), 0DF8XZZ (small intestine), 0DF9XZZ (duodenum), 0DFAXZZ (jejunum), 0DFBXZZ (ileum) and 10 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DFM0ZZ (open), 0DFM3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DFM4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DFM7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DFM8ZZ (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.
