About 08P00JZ
08P00JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right eye using an open approach with synthetic substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of epiretinal visual prosthesis and removal of ocular implant, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (14.82 and 16.71).
For a different body part, codes include 08P10JZ (left eye), 08PL0JZ (right extraocular muscle) and 08PM0JZ (left extraocular muscle).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08P03JZ (percutaneous), 08P07JZ (via natural or artificial opening), 08P08JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 08P0XJZ (external).
With a different device, use 08P000Z (drainage device), 08P001Z (radioactive element), 08P003Z (infusion device), 08P007Z (autologous tissue substitute), 08P00CZ (extraluminal device), 08P00DZ (intraluminal device) and 2 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 113 (Orbital Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 114 (Orbital Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC) and DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC), under the surgical categories “Orbital Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
