About 08QY8ZZ

08QY8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left lacrimal duct using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of canaliculus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (09.73).

For a different body part, codes include 08QX8ZZ (right lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08QY0ZZ (open), 08QY3ZZ (percutaneous) and 08QY7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC) and DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), under the surgical categories “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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