About 0DQR0ZZ
0DQR0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the anal sphincter using an open 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 and other repair of anal sphincter, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (49.71 and 49.79).
For a different body part, codes include 0DQ10ZZ (esophagus, upper), 0DQ20ZZ (esophagus, middle), 0DQ30ZZ (esophagus, lower), 0DQ40ZZ (esophagogastric junction), 0DQ50ZZ (esophagus), 0DQ60ZZ (stomach) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DQR3ZZ (percutaneous) and 0DQR4ZZ (percutaneous 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.
