ICD-10-PCS Code For Stomach: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0DH6 includes procedures performed to insert nonbiological appliances that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent physiological functions in the stomach. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a device is placed into the stomach to provide monitoring or therapeutic assistance without replacing the organ. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0DH6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Stomach Insertion Procedure Overview

This group contains procedures that involve insertion of nonbiological appliances into the stomach to monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function without replacing the organ. These procedures target the gastrointestinal system and are coded in the inpatient setting using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System. Accurate coding is important for reflecting the clinical services provided and for appropriate inpatient reimbursement and case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a nonbiological device is placed into the stomach during an inpatient encounter to provide monitoring, therapeutic assistance, or prevention of dysfunction. Do not use these codes for procedures that replace the stomach or for removal or revision alone without insertion.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with advanced neurodegenerative disease and progressive oropharyngeal dysphagia is admitted for placement of a permanent gastric feeding appliance after failed prolonged nasogastric feeding. The inpatient team elects to place a feeding device into the stomach to provide long-term enteral nutrition and reduce aspiration risk when outpatient endoscopic placement is not feasible. Typical codes: 0DH63UZ, 0DH64UZ.
A middle-aged patient presents emergently with severe gastroparesis and recurrent bezoar formation causing inability to tolerate oral intake; conservative measures fail and the surgical team places an intraluminal gastric decompression/infusion device via percutaneous approach to assist gastric emptying and allow enteral therapy. The procedure is performed during the same admission to monitor and assist gastric physiology and relieve obstructive symptoms. Typical codes: 0DH633Z, 0DH63DZ.
A patient hospitalized for diagnostic evaluation of refractory upper‑GI bleeding undergoes endoscopic placement of a gastric monitoring device to continuously assess intragastric pH and bleeding patterns after temporizing measures. Placement is done via percutaneous endoscopic approach while inpatient to guide ongoing management and prevent rebleeding. Typical codes: 0DH642Z, 0DH64DZ.
