About 0DP581Z

0DP581Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the esophagus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other device from digestive system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (97.59).

For a different body part, codes include 0DPP81Z (rectum).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DP501Z (open), 0DP531Z (percutaneous), 0DP541Z (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DP571Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DP5X1Z (external).

With a different device, use 0DP58DZ (intraluminal device) and 0DP58YZ (other 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.
