About 08RNX7Z

08RNX7Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the right upper eyelid using an external 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 other reconstruction of eyelid with flaps or grafts, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (08.69).

For a different body part, codes include 08R6X7Z (right sclera), 08R7X7Z (left sclera), 08R8X7Z (right cornea), 08R9X7Z (left cornea), 08RPX7Z (left upper eyelid), 08RQX7Z (right lower eyelid) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08RN07Z (open) and 08RN37Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 08RNXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 08RNXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC) and DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), under the surgical categories “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.

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