About 0DBQ8ZZ

0DBQ8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the anus 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 excision of anus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (49.6).

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 0DBQ0ZZ (open), 0DBQ3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DBQ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DBQ7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DBQXZZ (external).

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.
