About 0DJD8ZZ
0DJD8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the lower intestinal tract using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to endoscopy of large intestine through artificial stoma, Colonoscopy, Flexible sigmoidoscopy and 3 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (45.22, 45.23, 45.24 and 3 more).
For a different body part, codes include 0DJ08ZZ (upper intestinal tract) and 0DJ68ZZ (stomach).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DJD0ZZ (open), 0DJD3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DJD4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DJD7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) 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.
