About 08RB0KZ

08RB0KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left choroid using an open approach with nonautologous 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 other operations on ciliary body, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (12.98).

For a different body part, codes include 08R00KZ (right eye), 08R10KZ (left eye), 08RA0KZ (right choroid), 08RN0KZ (right upper eyelid), 08RP0KZ (left upper eyelid), 08RQ0KZ (right lower eyelid) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08RB3KZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 08RB07Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 08RB0JZ (synthetic 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 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 “Intraocular 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.
