About 08PM3YZ

08PM3YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the left 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 08PL3YZ (right extraocular muscle).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08PM0YZ (open).

With a different device, use 08PM30Z (drainage device), 08PM37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 08PM3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 08PM3KZ (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.
