About 08U8X7Z

08U8X7Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the right cornea using an external approach with autologous 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 lamellar keratoplasty with autograft, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (11.61).

For a different body part, codes include 08U9X7Z (left cornea), 08UNX7Z (right upper eyelid), 08UPX7Z (left upper eyelid), 08UQX7Z (right lower eyelid) and 08URX7Z (left lower eyelid).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 08U807Z (open) and 08U837Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 08U8XJZ (synthetic substitute) and 08U8XKZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 115 (Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC), DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), DRG 957 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with MCC) and DRG 958 (Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma with CC), under the surgical categories “Extraocular Procedures Except Orbit”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
