About 0DJV0ZZ
0DJV0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the mesentery using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Exploratory laparotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (54.11).
For a different body part, codes include 0DJ00ZZ (upper intestinal tract), 0DJ60ZZ (stomach), 0DJD0ZZ (lower intestinal tract), 0DJU0ZZ (omentum) and 0DJW0ZZ (peritoneum).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DJV3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DJV4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DJVXZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC) and DRG 356 (Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures with MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Digestive System O.R. Procedures” and 11 more.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
