About 0DNC8ZZ

0DNC8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the ileocecal valve using a via natural or artificial opening 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 intestine, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (46.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0DN18ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DN28ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DN38ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DN48ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DN58ZZ (esophagus), 0DN68ZZ (stomach) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DNC0ZZ (open), 0DNC3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DNC4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DNC7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 329 (Major Small and Large Bowel Procedures with MCC), DRG 330 (Major Small and Large Bowel Procedures with CC), DRG 331 (Major Small and Large Bowel 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 “Major Small and Large Bowel Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
