About 0DQQXZZ

0DQQXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the anus using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to suture of laceration of anus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (49.71).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DQQ0ZZ (open), 0DQQ3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DQQ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DQQ7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DQQ8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening 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), DRG 349 (Anal and Stomal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC) and DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Anal and Stomal Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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