ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 0B - Respiratory System

In the ICD-10-PCS system, the root operations for the Respiratory System in the Medical and Surgical section cover a wide range of procedures involving treatment of respiratory structures. These operations define specific actions such as altering, removing, or examining parts of the respiratory anatomy.

The Respiratory System operations include Bypass (code 0B1), which involves altering the route of passage within tubular parts, and Change (0B2), where a device is replaced without incision. Other examples are Destruction (0B5), physically eradicating tissue by energy or force, and Dilation (0B7), expanding airways or lumens. Procedures such as Drainage (0B9) remove fluids or gases, while Excision (0BB) and Resection (0BT) entail cutting out portions or whole body parts without replacement. Implant-related operations include Insertion (0BH), Replacement (0BR), and Supplement (0BU), involving non-biological or biological materials. Visual examination is coded with Inspection (0BJ). These codes precisely capture the diverse interventions possible within respiratory care, ensuring accurate procedural documentation.

List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System 0B - Respiratory System

• 0B1 - Bypass - Altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part

• 0B2 - Change - Taking out or off a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in or on the same body part without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane

• 0B5 - Destruction - Physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force or a destructive agent

• 0B7 - Dilation - Expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part

• 0B9 - Drainage - Taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part

• 0BB - Excision - Cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part

• 0BC - Extirpation - Taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part

• 0BD - Extraction - Pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force

• 0BF - Fragmentation - Breaking solid matter in a body part into pieces

• 0BH - 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

• 0BJ - Inspection - Visually and/or manually exploring a body part

• 0BL - Occlusion - Completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part

• 0BM - Reattachment - Putting back in or on all or a portion of a separated body part to its normal location or other suitable location

• 0BN - Release - Freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by use of force

• 0BP - Removal - Taking out or off a device from a body part

• 0BQ - Repair - Restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function

• 0BR - Replacement - Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part

• 0BS - Reposition - Moving to its normal location or other suitable location all or a portion of a body part

• 0BT - Resection - Cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part

• 0BU - Supplement - Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a body part

• 0BV - Restriction - Partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part

• 0BW - Revision - Correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device

• 0BY - Transplantation - Putting in or on all or a portion of a living body part taken from another individual or animal to physically take the place and/or function of all or a portion of a similar body part
