About 0DQJ4ZZ

0DQJ4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the appendix using a percutaneous 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 operations on appendix, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (47.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0DQ14ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DQ24ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DQ34ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DQ44ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DQ54ZZ (esophagus), 0DQ64ZZ (stomach) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DQJ0ZZ (open), 0DQJ3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DQJ7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DQJ8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 397 (Appendix Procedures with MCC), DRG 398 (Appendix Procedures with CC), DRG 399 (Appendix 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 “Appendix Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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