About 0DVQXZZ

0DVQXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the anus using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to anal cerclage, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (49.72).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0DVQ0ZZ (open), 0DVQ3ZZ (percutaneous), 0DVQ4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0DVQ7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0DVQ8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0DVQXCZ (extraluminal device) and 0DVQXDZ (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 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” and “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”.

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