About 0DH503Z

0DH503Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the esophagus using an open approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0DH603Z (stomach), 0DH803Z (small intestine), 0DH903Z (duodenum), 0DHA03Z (jejunum) and 0DHB03Z (ileum).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DH533Z (percutaneous), 0DH543Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DH573Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DH583Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0DH501Z (radioactive element), 0DH502Z (monitoring device), 0DH50DZ (intraluminal device), 0DH50UZ (feeding device) and 0DH50YZ (other device).

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.
