About 08BX8ZZ

08BX8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right lacrimal duct using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision of lacrimal sac and passage, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (09.6).

For a different body part, codes include 08BY8ZZ (left lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08BX0ZZ (open), 08BX3ZZ (percutaneous) and 08BX7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

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.
