About 08NV3ZZ

08NV3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the right lacrimal gland using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on lacrimal gland, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (09.3).

For a different body part, codes include 08N23ZZ (right anterior chamber), 08N33ZZ (left anterior chamber), 08N43ZZ (right vitreous), 08N53ZZ (left vitreous), 08NA3ZZ (right choroid), 08NB3ZZ (left choroid) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08NV0ZZ (open).

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.
