About 0W3P8ZZ

0W3P8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a control procedure on the gastrointestinal tract using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, control means stopping, or attempting to stop, postprocedural or other acute bleeding.

In plain terms, this corresponds to endoscopic excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of esophagus, endoscopic control of gastric or duodenal bleeding and control of (postoperative) hemorrhage of anus, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (42.33, 44.43 and 49.95).

For a different body part, codes include 0W338ZZ (oral cavity and throat), 0W3Q8ZZ (respiratory tract) and 0W3R8ZZ (genitourinary tract).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0W3P0ZZ (open), 0W3P3ZZ (percutaneous), 0W3P4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0W3P7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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

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