ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System XW - Anatomical Regions
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Anatomical Regions (code set XW) in the New Technology section involves procedures related to placing various substances or devices into the body for therapeutic, diagnostic, or supportive purposes.
This root operation includes distinct actions such as Introduction (code XW0), which refers to putting in or on substances like therapeutic or nutritional agents except blood or blood products, and Transfusion (codes XW1 and XW2), specifically denoting the infusion of blood or blood products. Another key example is Insertion (code XWH), used for placing nonbiological appliances that support or monitor physiological functions without replacing a body part physically. These codes clearly define the method and material introduced, facilitating precise documentation of technologically advanced procedures involving anatomical regions.
