About 08W18YZ

08W18YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the left eye using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with other device. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on eyeball, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (16.99).

For a different body part, codes include 08W08YZ (right eye).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08W10YZ (open), 08W13YZ (percutaneous) and 08W17YZ (via natural or artificial opening).

With a different device, use 08W180Z (drainage device), 08W183Z (infusion device), 08W187Z (autologous tissue substitute), 08W18CZ (extraluminal device), 08W18DZ (intraluminal device), 08W18JZ (synthetic substitute) and 1 more.

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
