About 0DH681Z

0DH681Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the stomach using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with radioactive element. 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.

For a different body part, codes include 0DH581Z (esophagus), 0DH881Z (small intestine), 0DH981Z (duodenum), 0DHA81Z (jejunum), 0DHB81Z (ileum), 0DHE81Z (large intestine) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DH601Z (open), 0DH631Z (percutaneous), 0DH641Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DH671Z (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 0DH682Z (monitoring device), 0DH683Z (infusion device), 0DH68DZ (intraluminal device), 0DH68UZ (feeding device) and 0DH68YZ (other device).

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 FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
