About 08SPXZZ

08SPXZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a reposition procedure on the left upper eyelid using an external approach. In ICD-10-PCS, reposition means moving to its normal location, or other suitable location, all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to blepharorrhaphy and other adjustment of lid position, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (08.52 and 08.59).

For a different body part, codes include 08SNXZZ (right upper eyelid), 08SQXZZ (right lower eyelid) and 08SRXZZ (left lower eyelid).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08SP0ZZ (open) and 08SP3ZZ (percutaneous).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC) and DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 3 more.

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