About 08QB0ZZ

08QB0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the left choroid using an open 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 ciliary body and other operations on retina, choroid, and posterior chamber, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (12.98 and 14.9).

For a different body part, codes include 08QA0ZZ (right choroid), 08QL0ZZ (right extraocular muscle), 08QM0ZZ (left extraocular muscle), 08QN0ZZ (right upper eyelid), 08QP0ZZ (left upper eyelid), 08QQ0ZZ (right lower eyelid) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08QB3ZZ (percutaneous).

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.
