About 0DN14ZZ
0DN14ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the esophagus, upper using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.89).
For a different body part, codes include 0DN24ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DN34ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DN44ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DN54ZZ (esophagus), 0DN64ZZ (stomach), 0DN74ZZ (stomach, pylorus) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DN10ZZ (open), 0DN13ZZ (percutaneous), 0DN17ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DN18ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 326 (Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures with MCC), DRG 327 (Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures with CC), DRG 328 (Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
