About 08C2XZZ
08C2XZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right anterior chamber using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of superficial foreign body from eye without incision, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (98.21).
For a different body part, codes include 08C0XZZ (right eye), 08C1XZZ (left eye), 08C3XZZ (left anterior chamber), 08C4XZZ (right vitreous), 08C5XZZ (left vitreous), 08C6XZZ (right sclera) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08C23ZZ (percutaneous).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
