About 08LY7ZZ

08LY7ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the left lacrimal duct using a via natural or artificial opening 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 08LX7ZZ (right lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08LY0ZZ (open), 08LY3ZZ (percutaneous) and 08LY8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 08LY7DZ (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.
