About 0857XZZ

0857XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left sclera using an external 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 excision or destruction of lesion of sclera, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (12.84).

For a different body part, codes include 0850XZZ (right eye), 0851XZZ (left eye), 0856XZZ (right sclera), 0858XZZ (right cornea), 0859XZZ (left cornea), 085NXZZ (right upper eyelid) and 5 more.

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.
