About 0DDQXZX

0DDQXZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extraction procedure on the anus using an external 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 anus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (49.23).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DDQ3ZX (percutaneous), 0DDQ4ZX (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0DDQ8ZX (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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.
