About 08QL3ZZ
08QL3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the right extraocular muscle 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 repair of injury of extraocular muscle, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (15.7).
For a different body part, codes include 08Q23ZZ (right anterior chamber), 08Q33ZZ (left anterior chamber), 08Q43ZZ (right vitreous), 08Q53ZZ (left vitreous), 08QA3ZZ (right choroid), 08QB3ZZ (left choroid) and 17 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08QL0ZZ (open).
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.
