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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group D8Y0 includes procedures performed to deliver other forms of radiation therapy to the eye. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when therapeutic radiation targeting the eye is administered for treatment of ocular tumors or other indications requiring radiation. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS D8Y0 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific radiation therapy performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Eye Other Radiation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve delivering targeted radiation therapy to the eye to treat ocular malignancies, neoplasms, or other conditions requiring therapeutic radiation. These procedures target the eye as the body system and use specialized radiation delivery techniques. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the radiation therapy provided and supports correct case-mix assignment and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a patient receives therapeutic radiation specifically targeted to the eye during an inpatient stay. Codes apply when radiation modalities not covered by more specific radiation therapy codes are used to manage ocular malignancy or other clinical indications.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
D8Y07ZZ	Contact Radiation of Eye
D8Y08ZZ	Hyperthermia of Eye
D8Y0FZZ	Plaque Radiation of Eye

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a rapidly enlarging choroidal melanoma is admitted for planned definitive local therapy after staging confirms no distant metastasis; inpatient care is arranged to coordinate ophthalmic oncology, anesthesiology for ocular immobilization, and radiation physics for precise dose delivery to the globe. A localized radiation applicator is placed to deliver concentrated dose directly to the tumor bed while minimizing exposure to surrounding ocular structures. Typical codes: D8Y0FZZ, D8Y07ZZ
A middle-aged patient with recurrent conjunctival or eyelid carcinoma previously treated with surgery presents for inpatient combined-modality therapy because of postoperative wound concerns and need for tightly targeted radiation under anesthesia; the goal is to sterilize residual microscopic disease at the eye while managing acute postoperative needs. A contact or plaque radiation approach is used to deliver focused therapy to the affected ocular surface or adjacent globe structures. Typical codes: D8Y07ZZ, D8Y0FZZ
A pediatric patient with retinoblastoma develops tumor persistence after systemic chemotherapy and requires inpatient delivery of adjunctive thermal-enhanced radiation therapy to improve local control while monitoring for acute toxicity; the child is admitted for anesthesia-assisted treatment and close observation for ocular and systemic effects. Hyperthermia combined with radiation is used as an adjunct to sensitize tumor tissue during the ocular-directed radiation session. Typical codes: D8Y08ZZ, D8Y07ZZ
