About 087Y7ZZ

087Y7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a dilation procedure on the left lacrimal duct using a via natural or artificial opening approach. In ICD-10-PCS, dilation means expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Probing of lacrimal punctum, Probing of lacrimal canaliculi, Probing of nasolacrimal duct and 1 more, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (09.41, 09.42, 09.43 and 1 more).

For a different body part, codes include 087X7ZZ (right lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 087Y0ZZ (open), 087Y3ZZ (percutaneous) and 087Y8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 087Y7DZ (intraluminal device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit” and “Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”.

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