About 08523ZZ

08523ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the right anterior chamber using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of lesion of anterior segment of eye, not otherwise specified and removal or destruction of epithelial downgrowth from anterior chamber, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (12.40 and 12.93).

For a different body part, codes include 08533ZZ (left anterior chamber), 08543ZZ (right vitreous), 08553ZZ (left vitreous), 085A3ZZ (right choroid), 085B3ZZ (left choroid), 085C3ZZ (right iris) and 17 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 116 (Intraocular Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 117 (Intraocular Procedures without CC/MCC), 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) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Intraocular Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
