About 0DS68ZZ
0DS68ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the stomach using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to intraoperative manipulation of stomach, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (44.92).
For a different body part, codes include 0DS58ZZ (esophagus), 0DS88ZZ (small intestine), 0DS98ZZ (duodenum), 0DSA8ZZ (jejunum), 0DSB8ZZ (ileum), 0DSE8ZZ (large intestine) and 7 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DS60ZZ (open), 0DS64ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DS67ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DS6XZZ (external).
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. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Stomach, Esophageal and Duodenal Procedures”, “Other Hepatobiliary or Pancreas O.R.
