About 08LX0ZZ

08LX0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the right lacrimal duct using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Obliteration of lacrimal punctum, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (09.91).

For a different body part, codes include 08LY0ZZ (left lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08LX3ZZ (percutaneous), 08LX7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 08LX8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 08LX0CZ (extraluminal device) and 08LX0DZ (intraluminal device).

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.
