About 085H3ZZ

085H3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the left retinal vessel 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 other operations on retina, choroid, and posterior chamber, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (14.9).

For a different body part, codes include 08523ZZ (right anterior chamber), 08533ZZ (left anterior chamber), 08543ZZ (right vitreous), 08553ZZ (left vitreous), 085A3ZZ (right choroid), 085B3ZZ (left choroid) 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”.

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