About 08C43ZZ

08C43ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right vitreous using a percutaneous 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 foreign body from posterior segment of eye without use of magnet, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (14.02).

For a different body part, codes include 08C23ZZ (right anterior chamber), 08C33ZZ (left anterior chamber), 08C53ZZ (left vitreous), 08CA3ZZ (right choroid), 08CB3ZZ (left choroid), 08CC3ZZ (right iris) and 17 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08C4XZZ (external).

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.
