ICD-10-PCS Code For Lacrimal Ducts: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B802 includes procedures performed to image lacrimal ducts in the eye using planar radiography. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when bilateral lacrimal duct radiographic imaging is performed to evaluate obstruction, trauma, or other lacrimal system pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B802 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the diagnostic imaging performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Lacrimal Ducts Plain Radiography Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve planar radiographic imaging of the lacrimal ducts using external ionizing radiation captured on a photographic or photoconductive plate. These imaging procedures target the eye body system and specifically evaluate the bilateral lacrimal ducts for obstruction, injury, or other pathology. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the precise diagnostic imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.
