About 0DBP8ZZ
0DBP8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the rectum using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to local excision of rectal lesion or tissue, [Endoscopic] polypectomy of rectum, Rectorectostomy and 1 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (48.35, 48.36, 48.74 and 1 more).
For a different body part, codes include 0DB18ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DB28ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DB38ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DB48ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DB58ZZ (esophagus), 0DB68ZZ (stomach) and 16 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DBP0ZZ (open), 0DBP3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DBP4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DBP7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).
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.
