About 0DQ68ZZ

0DQ68ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the stomach using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of stomach, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (44.69).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DQ60ZZ (open), 0DQ63ZZ (percutaneous), 0DQ64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DQ67ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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 423 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 424 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 425 (Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R.
