About 08R137Z

08R137Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left eye using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, replacement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to enucleation of eyeball with other synchronous implant, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (16.42).

For a different body part, codes include 08R037Z (right eye), 08R437Z (right vitreous), 08R537Z (left vitreous), 08R837Z (right cornea), 08R937Z (left cornea), 08RA37Z (right choroid) and 13 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08R107Z (open).

With a different device, use 08R13JZ (synthetic substitute) and 08R13KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

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.
