About 08RY8JZ

08RY8JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left lacrimal duct using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with synthetic 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 08RX8JZ (right lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08RY0JZ (open), 08RY3JZ (percutaneous) and 08RY7JZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 08RY87Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 08RY8KZ (nonautologous tissue 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.
