About 0DLQ8ZZ

0DLQ8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the anus using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on anus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (49.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0DL18ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DL28ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DL38ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DL48ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DL58ZZ (esophagus), 0DL68ZZ (stomach) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DLQ0ZZ (open), 0DLQ3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DLQ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DLQ7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DLQXZZ (external).

With a different device, use 0DLQ8DZ (intraluminal device).

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), DRG 349 (Anal and Stomal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Anal and Stomal Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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