About 10J18ZZ
10J18ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a inspection procedure on the products of conception, retained using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, inspection means visually and/or manually exploring a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other diagnostic procedures on fetus and amnion, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (75.35).
For a different body part, codes include 10J08ZZ (products of conception) and 10J28ZZ (products of conception, ectopic).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 10J10ZZ (open), 10J13ZZ (percutaneous), 10J14ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 10J17ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 10J1XZZ (external).
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.
