ICD-10-PCS 0DJ Medical and Surgical: Gastrointestinal System Inspection
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (coded as 0DJ) refers to visually and/or manually examining the gastrointestinal system without affecting the anatomy. This procedure helps to assess the condition of specific parts within the system for diagnostic purposes.
Within the Medical and Surgical section, inspection codes cover various body parts such as the Upper Intestinal Tract, Stomach, Lower Intestinal Tract, Omentum, Mesentery, and Peritoneum. The approach to inspection can vary, ranging from an Open Approach—as seen in codes like 0DJ00ZZ for the Upper Intestinal Tract or 0DJ60ZZ for the Stomach—to minimally invasive methods such as Percutaneous Endoscopic (e.g., 0DJ04ZZ). Inspections may also be conducted via Natural or Artificial Openings and their endoscopic variants, offering flexibility depending on the clinical situation. Accurately selecting these ICD-10-PCS inspection codes ensures precise documentation of gastrointestinal examinations.
