About 089X70Z

089X70Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a drainage procedure on the right lacrimal duct using a via natural or artificial opening approach with drainage device. In ICD-10-PCS, drainage means taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of lacrimal canaliculi, incision of lacrimal sac and other incision of lacrimal passages, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (09.52, 09.53 and 09.59).

For a different body part, codes include 089Y70Z (left lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 089X00Z (open), 089X30Z (percutaneous) and 089X80Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 089X7ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

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