About 08PM0JZ

08PM0JZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left extraocular muscle 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 other operations on eyeball, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (16.99).

For a different body part, codes include 08P00JZ (right eye), 08P10JZ (left eye) and 08PL0JZ (right extraocular muscle).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08PM3JZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 08PM00Z (drainage device), 08PM07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 08PM0KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 08PM0YZ (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.
