ICD-10-PCS 08H Medical and Surgical: Eye Insertion

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Insertion (08H) in the Medical and Surgical section refers to putting in a device into or on the Eye. This procedure places devices to support, treat, or enhance eye function without removing any tissue.

Within these eye Insertion codes, various devices can be introduced through different approaches. For example, an Epiretinal Visual Prosthesis can be inserted into the right or left eye by an Open Approach (codes 08H005Z and 08H105Z). Minimally invasive methods like the Percutaneous Approach are used to insert devices such as Radioactive Elements (08H031Z, 08H131Z) or Infusion Devices (08H033Z, 08H133Z). Other devices may also be placed via a Natural or Artificial Opening or using an Endoscopic approach (08H07YZ, 08H18YZ). The system's specificity ensures precise documentation, crucial for accurate coding of device insertions into ocular structures.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 08H - Insertion (putting in a non-biological appliance that monitors, assists, performs or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part). There are a total of 19 procedure codes in this section.
