ICD-10-PCS Code For Eye, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B835 includes procedures performed to image anatomical structures in the Eye, Right using magnetic resonance imaging. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a diagnostic or preoperative evaluation requires multiplanar magnetic resonance imaging of the right eye and adjacent orbital structures. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B835 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging modality and body part to support clinical documentation accuracy.

Eye, Right Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes magnetic resonance imaging studies performed on the right eye and surrounding ocular structures. These procedures use radiofrequency signals within a magnetic field to generate multiplanar images of the eye and adjacent tissues. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these imaging procedures supports correct inpatient documentation and appropriate reimbursement by reflecting the exact body part and imaging modality used.

Eye, Right Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview

Code Attributes

Character	ICD-10-PCS Category	Code Group Details
B	Section	Imaging
8	Body System	Eye
3	Operation	Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
5	Body Part	Eye, Right

When to Use

Use codes from this group when magnetic resonance imaging is performed specifically targeting the right eye for diagnostic or preoperative assessment. Select the code when the procedure documentation identifies MRI as the imaging modality and the right eye as the body part examined.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

3 rows

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
B835Y0Z	Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Right Eye using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced
B835YZZ	Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Right Eye using Other Contrast
B835ZZZ	Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Right Eye

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient is admitted from the emergency department after blunt orbital trauma to the right eye with sudden vision changes and proptosis. Inpatient magnetic resonance imaging of the right eye is ordered to evaluate optic nerve integrity, extraocular muscle involvement, and soft tissue hematoma; both unenhanced and contrast-enhanced sequences are obtained to characterize hemorrhage and possible globe rupture sequelae. The study uses MRI technology with multiplanar reformatting to guide urgent surgical or ophthalmologic intervention. Typical codes: B835Y0Z
A middle-aged patient is hospitalized for preoperative evaluation prior to elective orbital decompression for compressive optic neuropathy related to thyroid eye disease. High-resolution MRI of the right eye and orbit with contrast is performed to map extraocular muscle enlargement, orbital fat prolapse, and optic nerve compression to assist surgical planning. Multiplanar contrast-enhanced sequences are used to delineate soft tissue anatomy. Typical codes: B835YZZ
An inpatient with progressive visual decline after prior right orbital surgery undergoes repeat imaging to distinguish postoperative scar from recurrent inflammatory mass and to assess for residual or recurrent disease. A focused MRI of the right eye is performed, using standard multiplanar sequences without additional contrast to evaluate tissue planes and guide further management. The study documents postoperative changes versus active pathology. Typical codes: B835ZZZ
