About 080NXZZ
080NXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a alteration procedure on the right upper eyelid using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, alteration means modifying the anatomic structure of a body part without affecting the function of the body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to upper eyelid rhytidectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (08.87).
For a different body part, codes include 080PXZZ (left upper eyelid), 080QXZZ (right lower eyelid) and 080RXZZ (left lower eyelid).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 080N0ZZ (open) and 080N3ZZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 080NX7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 080NXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 080NXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
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.
