About 08P103Z
08P103Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left eye using an open approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to removal of ocular implant, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (16.71).
For a different body part, codes include 08P003Z (right eye).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08P133Z (percutaneous), 08P173Z (via natural or artificial opening), 08P183Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic) and 08P1X3Z (external).
With a different device, use 08P100Z (drainage device), 08P101Z (radioactive element), 08P107Z (autologous tissue substitute), 08P10CZ (extraluminal device), 08P10DZ (intraluminal device), 08P10JZ (synthetic substitute) 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.
