About 0DBP4ZX

0DBP4ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the rectum using a percutaneous endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to closed [endoscopic] biopsy of rectum and biopsy of perirectal tissue, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (48.24 and 48.26).

For a different body part, codes include 0DB14ZX (esophagus, upper), 0DB24ZX (esophagus, middle), 0DB34ZX (esophagus, lower), 0DB44ZX (esophagogastric junction), 0DB54ZX (esophagus), 0DB64ZX (stomach) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DBP0ZX (open), 0DBP3ZX (percutaneous), 0DBP7ZX (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DBP8ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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