About 0DJD7ZZ
0DJD7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the lower intestinal tract using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on large intestine, other diagnostic procedures on rectum, rectosigmoid and perirectal tissue and other diagnostic procedures on anus and perianal tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (45.28, 48.29 and 49.29).
For a different body part, codes include 0DJ07ZZ (upper intestinal tract) and 0DJ67ZZ (stomach).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DJD0ZZ (open), 0DJD3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DJD4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DJD8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 0DJDXZZ (external).
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.
