About 08PL0KZ
08PL0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right extraocular muscle using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from 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 08P00KZ (right eye), 08P10KZ (left eye) and 08PM0KZ (left extraocular muscle).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08PL3KZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 08PL00Z (drainage device), 08PL07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 08PL0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 08PL0YZ (other device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), under the surgical category “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
