About 08UG37Z

08UG37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the right retinal vessel using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on retina, choroid, and posterior chamber, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (14.9).

For a different body part, codes include 08U037Z (right eye), 08U137Z (left eye), 08U837Z (right cornea), 08U937Z (left cornea), 08UC37Z (right iris), 08UD37Z (left iris) and 11 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08UG07Z (open).

With a different device, use 08UG3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 08UG3KZ (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 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.
