About 08R437Z

08R437Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right vitreous 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 removal of vitreous, anterior approach and other mechanical vitrectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (14.71 and 14.74).

For a different body part, codes include 08R037Z (right eye), 08R137Z (left eye), 08R537Z (left vitreous), 08R837Z (right cornea), 08R937Z (left cornea), 08RA37Z (right choroid) and 13 more.

With a different device, use 08R43JZ (synthetic substitute) and 08R43KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 116 (Intraocular Procedures with CC/MCC), DRG 117 (Intraocular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler), DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 630 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC) and DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), under the surgical categories “Intraocular Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
