About 089B3ZX
089B3ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left choroid 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 other diagnostic procedures on retina, choroid, vitreous, and posterior chamber, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (14.19).
For a different body part, codes include 08923ZX (right anterior chamber), 08933ZX (left anterior chamber), 08943ZX (right vitreous), 08953ZX (left vitreous), 089A3ZX (right choroid), 089C3ZX (right iris) and 17 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 089B0ZX (open).
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.
