About the 082 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (code 082) involves taking out a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device during the same procedure. In the Medical and Surgical section for the Eye body system, this operation is specifically used to replace eye devices without removing or altering the eye itself.
This operation commonly applies to devices such as drainage devices or other implanted eye devices. For example, the code 0820X0Z refers to changing a drainage device in the right eye using an external approach, while 0821X0Z represents changing the same device in the left eye. Similar codes like 0820XYZ and 0821XYZ cover changing other types of devices in the right and left eyes respectively. Using these specific eye device change codes ensures accurate documentation of procedures where an existing device is replaced without removal of the eye itself. This level of detail supports effective clinical communication and procedural reporting.
