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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0DHB includes procedures performed to insert nonbiological intraluminal appliances in the ileum. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a device is placed within the ileal lumen to monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function of the gastrointestinal system. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0DHB group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Ileum Insertion Procedure Overview

Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS code group involve insertion of nonbiological intraluminal devices into the ileum to monitor, assist, perform, or prevent physiological functions of the gastrointestinal system. These insertion procedures place an appliance within the ileal lumen without replacing a body part. Accurate coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific device placement and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an intraluminal device is placed into the ileum during an inpatient stay to provide monitoring, assistance, performance, or prevention of physiologic activity. Select the specific code based on the device type and insertion details documented in the operative record.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient hospitalized with high-output enteric fistula and malnutrition requires enteral access directly into the ileum because gastric and jejunal feeding routes are not tolerated or feasible. During an open abdominal procedure to control the fistula and debride infected tissue, the surgeon inserts a feeding tube into the ileal lumen to provide immediate enteral nutrition and protect proximal repairs. The device is placed to support nutrition and maintain luminal continuity while recovery proceeds. Typical codes: 0DHB03Z, 0DHB0UZ
A patient presents emergently with small-bowel obstruction secondary to adhesive disease and develops ischemia of a segment of ileum. During exploratory laparotomy, after resection of the nonviable segment and restoration of continuity, the surgical team places an intraluminal monitoring catheter into the remaining ileum via an open approach to monitor intraluminal pressure and decompression in the immediate postoperative period. The device is intended to assist with decompression and physiologic monitoring while bowel function returns. Typical codes: 0DHB02Z, 0DHB0DZ
A patient with chronic ileostomy has recurrent high-output complications and requires replacement of a malfunctioning percutaneous ileal infusion port that was originally placed endoscopically. In the inpatient setting the team performs a percutaneous replacement of the intraluminal infusion device in the ileum to restore access for medication and fluid administration. The procedure addresses device failure and reestablishes the intended infusion function. Typical codes: 0DHB33Z, 0DHB3UZ
