About 08CV0ZZ

08CV0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the right lacrimal gland using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to incision of lacrimal gland, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (09.0).

For a different body part, codes include 08CA0ZZ (right choroid), 08CB0ZZ (left choroid), 08CL0ZZ (right extraocular muscle), 08CM0ZZ (left extraocular muscle), 08CN0ZZ (right upper eyelid), 08CP0ZZ (left upper eyelid) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08CV3ZZ (percutaneous) and 08CVXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), under the surgical category “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
