About 08B43ZX
08B43ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right vitreous using a percutaneous approach (qualifier: diagnostic). In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of 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 08B03ZX (right eye), 08B13ZX (left eye), 08B53ZX (left vitreous), 08BA3ZX (right choroid), 08BB3ZX (left choroid), 08BC3ZX (right iris) and 15 more.
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.
