About 0DBR0ZZ

0DBR0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the anal sphincter using an open 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 0DB10ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DB20ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DB30ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DB40ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DB50ZZ (esophagus), 0DB60ZZ (stomach) and 20 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DBR3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0DBR4ZZ (percutaneous 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.
