About 089PXZX

089PXZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the left upper eyelid using an external 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 biopsy of eyelid, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (08.11).

For a different body part, codes include 0890XZX (right eye), 0891XZX (left eye), 0896XZX (right sclera), 0897XZX (left sclera), 0898XZX (right cornea), 0899XZX (left cornea) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 089P0ZX (open) and 089P3ZX (percutaneous).

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.
