About 08CY8ZZ

08CY8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the left lacrimal duct using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Probing of lacrimal canaliculi, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (09.42).

For a different body part, codes include 08CX8ZZ (right lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08CY0ZZ (open), 08CY3ZZ (percutaneous) and 08CY7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), under the surgical category “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”.

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