About 08H131Z

08H131Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left eye using a percutaneous approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to destruction of chorioretinal lesion by implantation of radiation source and implantation or insertion of radioactive elements, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (14.27 and 92.27).

For a different body part, codes include 08H031Z (right eye).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08H1X1Z (external).

With a different device, use 08H133Z (infusion device) and 08H13YZ (other device).

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 116 (Intraocular Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 117 (Intraocular Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Intraocular Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

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