About 0DTJ7ZZ

0DTJ7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the appendix using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other appendectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (47.09).

For a different body part, codes include 0DT17ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DT27ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DT37ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DT47ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DT57ZZ (esophagus), 0DT67ZZ (stomach) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DTJ0ZZ (open), 0DTJ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DTJ8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures without MCC), DRG 397 (Appendix Procedures with MCC), DRG 398 (Appendix Procedures with CC), DRG 399 (Appendix Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 749 (Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures with CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures”, “Appendix Procedures”, “Other Female Reproductive System O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

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