About 08XM3ZZ
08XM3ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a transfer procedure on the left extraocular muscle using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, transfer means moving, without taking out, all or a portion of a body part to another location to take over the function of all or a portion of a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to advancement of one extraocular muscle, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (15.12).
For a different body part, codes include 08XL3ZZ (right extraocular muscle).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08XM0ZZ (open).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), under the surgical category “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
