About 08H17YZ

08H17YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the left eye using a via natural or artificial opening approach with other device. 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 other operations on eyeball, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (16.99).

For a different body part, codes include 08H07YZ (right eye).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08H10YZ (open), 08H13YZ (percutaneous) and 08H18YZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

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

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
