About 0DL44CZ
0DL44CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the esophagogastric junction using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with extraluminal device. 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 0DL14CZ (esophagus, upper), 0DL24CZ (esophagus, middle), 0DL34CZ (esophagus, lower), 0DL54CZ (esophagus), 0DL64CZ (stomach), 0DL74CZ (stomach, pylorus) and 15 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DL40CZ (open) and 0DL43CZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0DL44DZ (intraluminal device) and 0DL44ZZ (no 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.
