About 0DHQ0LZ

0DHQ0LZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the anus using an open approach with artificial sphincter. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to implantation or revision of artificial anal sphincter, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (49.75).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DHQ3LZ (percutaneous) and 0DHQ4LZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0DHQ0DZ (intraluminal device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 332 (Rectal Resection with MCC), DRG 333 (Rectal Resection with CC), DRG 334 (Rectal Resection 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 “Rectal Resection”, “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.
