About 08Q43ZZ
08Q43ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right vitreous using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
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 08Q23ZZ (right anterior chamber), 08Q33ZZ (left anterior chamber), 08Q53ZZ (left vitreous), 08QA3ZZ (right choroid), 08QB3ZZ (left choroid), 08QC3ZZ (right iris) and 17 more.
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.
