About 08PL3YZ
08PL3YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the right extraocular muscle using a percutaneous approach with other device. 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 extraocular muscles and tendons, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (15.9).
For a different body part, codes include 08P03YZ (right eye), 08P13YZ (left eye), 08PJ3YZ (right lens), 08PK3YZ (left lens) and 08PM3YZ (left extraocular muscle).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08PL0YZ (open).
With a different device, use 08PL30Z (drainage device), 08PL37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 08PL3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 08PL3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
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.
