About ICD-9-CM 12.01
12.01 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for removal of intraocular foreign body from anterior segment of eye with use of magnet. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 08C23ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Right Anterior Chamber, Percutaneous Approach) and 08C33ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Left Anterior Chamber, Percutaneous Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
