About 08P0XJZ

08P0XJZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right eye using an external 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 artificial implant from cornea and removal of eye prosthesis, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (11.92 and 97.31).

For a different body part, codes include 08P1XJZ (left eye).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08P00JZ (open), 08P03JZ (percutaneous), 08P07JZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 08P08JZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 08P0X0Z (drainage device), 08P0X1Z (radioactive element), 08P0X3Z (infusion device), 08P0X7Z (autologous tissue substitute), 08P0XCZ (extraluminal device), 08P0XDZ (intraluminal device) and 1 more.

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.
