About 0DL34ZZ
0DL34ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the esophagus, lower using a percutaneous 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 0DL14ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DL24ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DL44ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DL54ZZ (esophagus), 0DL64ZZ (stomach), 0DL74ZZ (stomach, pylorus) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DL30ZZ (open), 0DL33ZZ (percutaneous), 0DL37ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DL38ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
With a different device, use 0DL34CZ (extraluminal device) and 0DL34DZ (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.
