About 0DL30ZZ

0DL30ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the esophagus, lower using an open 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 0DL10ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DL20ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DL40ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DL50ZZ (esophagus), 0DL60ZZ (stomach), 0DL70ZZ (stomach, pylorus) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DL33ZZ (percutaneous), 0DL34ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DL37ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DL38ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0DL30CZ (extraluminal device) and 0DL30DZ (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.
