About 08943ZX

08943ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right vitreous using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to diagnostic aspiration of vitreous, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (14.11).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 116 (Intraocular Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 117 (Intraocular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Intraocular Procedures”.

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