About 08BW0ZZ

08BW0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a excision procedure on the left lacrimal gland 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 lacrimal gland and other partial dacryoadenectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (09.21 and 09.22).

For a different body part, codes include 08B00ZZ (right eye), 08B10ZZ (left eye), 08BA0ZZ (right choroid), 08BB0ZZ (left choroid), 08BL0ZZ (right extraocular muscle), 08BM0ZZ (left extraocular muscle) and 7 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08BW3ZZ (percutaneous).

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.
