About 0DBR4ZZ
0DBR4ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the anal sphincter using a percutaneous 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 0DB14ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DB24ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DB34ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DB44ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DB54ZZ (esophagus), 0DB64ZZ (stomach) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DBR0ZZ (open) and 0DBR3ZZ (percutaneous).
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.
