About C8191ZZ
C8191ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure on the bilateral lacrimal ducts using a technetium 99m (tc-99m) approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, planar nuclear medicine imaging means introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions.
In plain terms, this corresponds to P32 and other tracer studies of eye, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (95.16).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded C819YZZ (other radionuclide).
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.
