About 0D5QXZZ

0D5QXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the anus using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other local excision or destruction of lesion or tissue of anus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (49.39).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0D5Q0ZZ (open), 0D5Q3ZZ (percutaneous), 0D5Q4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0D5Q7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0D5Q8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 347 (Anal and Stomal Procedures with MCC), DRG 348 (Anal and Stomal Procedures with CC), DRG 349 (Anal and Stomal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Anal and Stomal Procedures” and “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
