About 08B43ZZ

08B43ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right vitreous using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, excision means cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to mechanical vitrectomy by anterior approach, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (14.73).

For a different body part, codes include 08B03ZZ (right eye), 08B13ZZ (left eye), 08B53ZZ (left vitreous), 08BA3ZZ (right choroid), 08BB3ZZ (left choroid), 08BC3ZZ (right iris) and 15 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 116 (Intraocular Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 117 (Intraocular Procedures without CC/MCC), 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) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Intraocular Procedures”, “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.
