About 0DP502Z

0DP502Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the esophagus using an open approach with monitoring device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other incision of esophagus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (42.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0DP002Z (upper intestinal tract), 0DP602Z (stomach) and 0DPD02Z (lower intestinal tract).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DP532Z (percutaneous), 0DP542Z (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DP5X2Z (external).

With a different device, use 0DP501Z (radioactive element), 0DP503Z (infusion device), 0DP50UZ (feeding device) and 0DP50YZ (other device).

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.
