About 0DDQ8ZX

0DDQ8ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the anus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, extraction means pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to biopsy of perianal tissue and biopsy of anus, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (49.22 and 49.23).

For a different body part, codes include 0DD18ZX (esophagus, upper), 0DD28ZX (esophagus, middle), 0DD38ZX (esophagus, lower), 0DD48ZX (esophagogastric junction), 0DD58ZX (esophagus), 0DD68ZX (stomach) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DDQ3ZX (percutaneous), 0DDQ4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DDQXZX (external).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
