About 08BR3ZX

08BR3ZX is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left lower eyelid 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 biopsy of eyelid, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (08.11).

For a different body part, codes include 08B03ZX (right eye), 08B13ZX (left eye), 08B43ZX (right vitreous), 08B53ZX (left vitreous), 08BA3ZX (right choroid), 08BB3ZX (left choroid) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08BR0ZX (open) and 08BRXZX (external).

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.
