About 08F53ZZ

08F53ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fragmentation procedure on the left vitreous using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, fragmentation means breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on vitreous, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (14.79).

For a different body part, codes include 08F43ZZ (right vitreous).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08F5XZZ (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.
