About B8021ZZ

B8021ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the bilateral lacrimal ducts using a low osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, plain radiography means planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate.

In plain terms, this corresponds to contrast dacryocystogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.05).

For a different body part, codes include B8001ZZ (right lacrimal duct) and B8011ZZ (left lacrimal duct).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B8020ZZ (high osmolar) and B802YZZ (other contrast).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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