About 0DBQXZZ

0DBQXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the anus using an external 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).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DBQ0ZZ (open), 0DBQ3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DBQ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DBQ7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DBQ8ZZ (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) and DRG 349 (Anal and Stomal Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Anal and Stomal Procedures”.

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