ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 08 - Eye

The ICD-10-PCS Medical and Surgical section for the Eye body system encompasses a wide range of root operations that describe different surgical and procedural interventions on eye structures. Each root operation in this section defines a specific type of procedure based on the purpose and technique used.

For example, the root operation Alteration (080) involves modifying an eye’s anatomy without affecting its function, while Bypass (081) changes the route of fluids in a tubular eye structure. Other codes include Destruction (085), which eradicates part or all of an eye structure using energy or force, and Dilation (087), which expands the lumen of a tubular eye part. Procedures like Insertion (08H) add non-biological appliances, and Inspection (08J) involves visual or manual exploration for diagnostic purposes. Surgical removals are coded as Excision (08B) or Resection (08T), depending on the extent. These detailed root operations enable precise coding of eye procedures, critical for clinical documentation and billing.

• 08R - Replacement - Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part

• 08S - Reposition - Moving to its normal location or other suitable location all or a portion of a body part

• 08T - Resection - Cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part

• 08U - Supplement - Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a body part

• 08V - Restriction - Partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part

• 08W - Revision - Correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device

• 08X - Transfer - 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
