About 08UPXKZ

08UPXKZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the left upper eyelid using an external approach with nonautologous 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 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 08U8XKZ (right cornea), 08U9XKZ (left cornea), 08UNXKZ (right upper eyelid), 08UQXKZ (right lower eyelid) and 08URXKZ (left lower eyelid).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08UP0KZ (open) and 08UP3KZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 08UPX7Z (autologous tissue substitute) and 08UPXJZ (synthetic 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.
