ICD-10-PCS 08X Medical and Surgical: Eye Transfer
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Transfer (Character 8X) in the Medical and Surgical section refers to moving a body part to a different location without detaching it. This operation specifically applies to the Eye body system.
Within the eye, transfer involves relocating extraocular muscles to alter their function or alignment. The provided codes demonstrate this operation can be performed on either the Right Extraocular Muscle—via an Open Approach (code 08XL0ZZ) or a minimally invasive Percutaneous Approach (code 08XL3ZZ)—or on the Left Extraocular Muscle through similar approaches (codes 08XM0ZZ and 08XM3ZZ). These procedures are important in correcting muscle imbalances affecting eye movement. Accurate use of these ICD-10-PCS eye transfer codes is essential for proper clinical documentation and reflects the precise surgical technique and body part involved.
