About 0FRC8JZ

0FRC8JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the ampulla of vater using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on sphincter of Oddi, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (51.89).

For a different body part, codes include 0FR58JZ (right hepatic duct), 0FR68JZ (left hepatic duct), 0FR78JZ (hepatic duct, common), 0FR88JZ (cystic duct), 0FR98JZ (common bile duct), 0FRD8JZ (pancreatic duct) and 1 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0FRC0JZ (open) and 0FRC4JZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0FRC87Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 0FRC8KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 408 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with MCC), DRG 409 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. with CC), DRG 410 (Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E. 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 “Biliary Tract Procedures Except Only Cholecystectomy with or without C.D.E.”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
