About 0890XZZ

0890XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right eye using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on eyeball, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (16.99).

For a different body part, codes include 0891XZZ (left eye), 0896XZZ (right sclera), 0897XZZ (left sclera), 0898XZZ (right cornea), 0899XZZ (left cornea), 089NXZZ (right upper eyelid) and 5 more.

With a different device, use 0890X0Z (drainage device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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