Assign the following ICD-10-PCS codes: 0DV44ZZ Restriction of esophagogastric junction, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Nissen fundoplication) 0BQR4ZZ Repair right diaphragm, percutaneous endoscopic approach (laparoscopic right diaphragm hernia repair)
Root Operation V: Restriction Restriction includes either intraluminal or extraluminal methods for narrowing the diameter (for example, stents or bands). Examples of Restriction include: Esophagogastric fundoplication.
43280The most common type of fundoplication procedure is referred to as Nissen fundoplication, which is typically performed laparoscopically....CPT43280Laparoscopy, surgical, esophagogastric fundoplasty (eg, Nissen, Toupet procedures)33 more rows
ICD-10 code K21. 9 for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Further, a Dor fundoplication (a partial wrapping of the stomach around the esophagus to make a low-pressure valve) is performed to prevent reflux from the stomach into the esophagus following the myotomy.
CPT 43281 is separately payable when performed with a bariatric procedure, CPT 43280 is not. The difference between the two codes is that in 43281 the hernia sac is removed and then the area is repaired; in 43280 the hernia is only repaired via sutures.
A hiatal hernia repair is an intrinsic component of CPT code 43280, which includes a fundoplasty and crural repair.

ICD-10 code: K21. 9 Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease without oesophagitis.
Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication is a surgical procedure performed for the treatment of GERD. The procedure strengthens the valve between the esophagus and the stomach, preventing the backflow of acid.
The esophageal muscle is incised with a specially insulated laparoscopic instrument. A portion of the upper stomach is then wrapped around the lower portion of the esophagus to prevent reflux. Patients are discharged the first post-operative day after a swallow study is obtained.
Achalasia is a rare disorder that makes it difficult for food and liquid to pass from the swallowing tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus) into your stomach.
A: For surgical intervention, fundoplication and esophageal sphincter augmentations with magnetic bands are pretty common procedures performed for gastroesophageal reflux disease, so I can see why you are seeing more of these procedures at your hospital. First, knowing the basics of these surgeries is important for inpatient coders.
This surgery strengthens the esophageal sphincter, which reduces the amount of acid that regurgitates into the esophagus. Since the objective of this procedure is to partially close the lumen of the esophagogastric junction, this is considered a Restriction procedure (ICD-10-PCS table 0DV) when reporting fundoplication, which may be referred to by eponyms including Nissen and Toupet.
More recent technology utilized for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease includes placement of a flexible band of interlinked titanium beads with magnetic cores around the lower esophageal sphincter.
First, knowing the basics of these surgeries is important for inpatient coders. During fundoplication surgery, the upper curve of the stomach (the fundus) is wrapped around the esophagus and sewn into place so that the lower portion of the esophagus passes through a small tunnel of stomach muscle. This surgery strengthens ...
However, the most common approach is the laparoscopic or percutaneous endoscopic approach .
ICD-10-PCS has a 7 character alpha-numeric code structure that provides a unique code for all substantially different procedures, and allows new procedures to be incorporated as new codes. All procedures currently performed can be specified in ICD-10-PCS.
Obstetrics procedure codes have a first character value of “1”. The second character value for body system is Pregnancy . The root operations Change, Drainage, Extraction, Insertion, Inspection, Removal, Repair, Reposition, Resection and Transplantation are used in the obstetrics section, and have the same meaning as in the medical and surgical section.
6 - Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies. In extracorporeal therapy, equipment outside the body is used for a therapeutic purpose that does not involve the assistance or performance of a physiological function. Extracorporeal therapy procedure codes have a first character value of “6”.
Physical rehabilitation section codes represent procedures including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology. Osteopathic procedures and chiropractic procedures are in sections 7 and 9 respectively. Physical rehabilitation and diagnostic audiology procedure codes have a first character value of “F”. The second character specifies the section qualifier Rehabilitation or Diagnostic Audiology. The third character specifies the root type.
Extracorporeal assistance and performance procedure codes have a first character value of “5”. The second character value for body system is physiological systems.
Measurement and monitoring procedure codes have a first character value of “4”. The second character value for body system is either physiological systems or physiological devices.
Placement section codes represent procedures for putting an externally placed device in or on a body region for the purpose of protection, immobilization, stretching, compression or packing. Placement procedure codes have a first character value of “2”.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z53.31 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
Z53.09 Procedure and treatment not carried out because of other contraindication. Z53.1 Procedure and treatment not carried out because of patient's decision for reasons of belief and group pressure. Z53.2 Procedure and treatment not carried out because of patient's decision for other and unspecified reasons.
If PCS contains a specific body part for anatomical subdivision of a body part “resection” would be used when all of the body part is cut out or off. (Lobectomy of RUL would be coded as a resection if all the RUL is removed even though the entire right lung was not removed).
The onus is on the coder to determine what the physician performed based on the documentation in the record. Physicians are using restriction/occlusion and other procedure titles when performing procedures making it imperative that the coder review the entire procedure note.
