About 08VX8ZZ

08VX8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the right lacrimal duct using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on lacrimal system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (09.99).

For a different body part, codes include 08VY8ZZ (left lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08VX0ZZ (open), 08VX3ZZ (percutaneous) and 08VX7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 08VX8DZ (intraluminal device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), DRG 143 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 144 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 145 (Other Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. 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 Ear, Nose, Mouth and Throat O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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