About ICD-9-CM 12.29

12.29 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other diagnostic procedures on iris, ciliary body, sclera, and anterior chamber. 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 4 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0896XZX (Drainage of Right Sclera, External Approach, Diagnostic), 0897XZX (Drainage of Left Sclera, External Approach, Diagnostic) and 08B6XZX (Excision of Right Sclera, External Approach, Diagnostic). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
