About 0DL28ZZ
0DL28ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the esophagus, middle using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.99).
For a different body part, codes include 0DL18ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DL38ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DL48ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DL58ZZ (esophagus), 0DL68ZZ (stomach), 0DL78ZZ (stomach, pylorus) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DL20ZZ (open), 0DL23ZZ (percutaneous), 0DL24ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DL27ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).
With a different device, use 0DL28DZ (intraluminal device).
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.
