About 08RRXJZ

08RRXJZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left lower eyelid using an external approach with synthetic 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 reconstruction of eyelid, not otherwise specified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (08.70).

For a different body part, codes include 08R6XJZ (right sclera), 08R7XJZ (left sclera), 08R8XJZ (right cornea), 08R9XJZ (left cornea), 08RNXJZ (right upper eyelid), 08RPXJZ (left upper eyelid) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08RR0JZ (open) and 08RR3JZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 08RRX7Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 08RRXKZ (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 628 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with MCC or Insertion of Antibiotic-eluting Bone Void Filler) and DRG 629 (Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures with CC), under the surgical categories “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Other Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

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