About 085B0ZZ

085B0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left choroid using an open 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 destruction of lesion of ciliary body, nonexcisional, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (12.43).

For a different body part, codes include 085A0ZZ (right choroid), 085L0ZZ (right extraocular muscle), 085M0ZZ (left extraocular muscle), 085N0ZZ (right upper eyelid), 085P0ZZ (left upper eyelid), 085Q0ZZ (right lower eyelid) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 085B3ZZ (percutaneous).

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”.

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