About 08RTX7Z

08RTX7Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a replacement procedure on the left conjunctiva 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 reconstruction of conjunctival cul-de-sac with free graft and other free graft to conjunctiva, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (10.42 and 10.44).

For a different body part, codes include 08R6X7Z (right sclera), 08R7X7Z (left sclera), 08R8X7Z (right cornea), 08R9X7Z (left cornea), 08RNX7Z (right upper eyelid), 08RPX7Z (left upper eyelid) and 3 more.

With a different device, use 08RTXJZ (synthetic substitute) and 08RTXKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), 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), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”, “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.
