About 08RY0KZ

08RY0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left lacrimal duct using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of canaliculus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (09.73).

For a different body part, codes include 08R00KZ (right eye), 08R10KZ (left eye), 08RA0KZ (right choroid), 08RB0KZ (left choroid), 08RN0KZ (right upper eyelid), 08RP0KZ (left upper eyelid) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08RY3KZ (percutaneous), 08RY7KZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 08RY8KZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 08RY07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 08RY0JZ (synthetic substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC) and DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), under the surgical categories “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
