ICD-10-PCS 081 Medical and Surgical: Eye Bypass

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Bypass (code 081) involves creating an alternative pathway to reroute the flow of fluids or secretions from one part of the eye system to another. This procedure is used when the normal passage is obstructed or needs to be circumvented.

Within the Medical and Surgical section, these eye bypass codes describe creating new pathways such as from the anterior chamber of the eye to the sclera, or from the lacrimal duct to the nasal cavity. The bypass can be performed via a Percutaneous Approach or an Open Approach, often using substitutes like synthetic or nonautologous tissue to maintain the pathway. For example, code 08123J4 specifies a percutaneous bypass from the right anterior chamber to sclera using a synthetic substitute, while 081X0Z3 describes an open bypass from the right lacrimal duct to nasal cavity without a substitute. These detailed codes allow precise documentation of the eye bypass procedures essential for treatment and billing purposes.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 081 - Bypass (altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part). There are a total of 19 procedure codes in this section.
