About 08CRXZZ

08CRXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left lower eyelid using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of other foreign body without incision from head and neck, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (98.22).

For a different body part, codes include 08C0XZZ (right eye), 08C1XZZ (left eye), 08C2XZZ (right anterior chamber), 08C3XZZ (left anterior chamber), 08C4XZZ (right vitreous), 08C5XZZ (left vitreous) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08CR0ZZ (open) and 08CR3ZZ (percutaneous).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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