About 0FDC8ZX

0FDC8ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the ampulla of vater using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

For a different body part, codes include 0FD48ZX (gallbladder), 0FD58ZX (right hepatic duct), 0FD68ZX (left hepatic duct), 0FD78ZX (hepatic duct, common), 0FD88ZX (cystic duct), 0FD98ZX (common bile duct) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FDC3ZX (percutaneous) and 0FDC4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2019, effective October 1, 2018.
