About 08BA0ZZ

08BA0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the right choroid using an open 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 excision of lesion of ciliary body and other operations on ciliary body, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (12.44 and 12.98).

For a different body part, codes include 08B00ZZ (right eye), 08B10ZZ (left eye), 08BB0ZZ (left choroid), 08BL0ZZ (right extraocular muscle), 08BM0ZZ (left extraocular muscle), 08BN0ZZ (right upper eyelid) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08BA3ZZ (percutaneous).

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.
