About 085X3ZZ
085X3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right lacrimal duct using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Obliteration of lacrimal punctum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (09.91).
For a different body part, codes include 08523ZZ (right anterior chamber), 08533ZZ (left anterior chamber), 08543ZZ (right vitreous), 08553ZZ (left vitreous), 085A3ZZ (right choroid), 085B3ZZ (left choroid) and 17 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 085X0ZZ (open), 085X7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 085X8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
