0D5QXZZ ICD-10-PCS Code: Destruction of Anus, External Approach
Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body SystemD | Gastrointestinal System |
| 3 | Root Operation5 | Destruction Physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent |
| 4 | Body PartQ | Anus |
| 5 | ApproachX | External |
| 6 | DeviceZ | No Device |

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 6 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 06 — Anal and Stomal Procedures: DRG 347, DRG 348, DRG 349
- MDC 09 — Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures: DRG 579, DRG 580, DRG 581
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
