ICD-10-PCS 002 Medical and Surgical: Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves Change
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (code 002) involves taking out a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device without affecting other body parts. This operation is commonly applied within the Medical and Surgical section for the Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves.
The Change operation is typically used to replace implanted devices such as drainage devices or other specialized equipment. For example, the code 0020X0Z describes changing a drainage device in the brain through an external approach, while 002EXYZ refers to changing other devices in a cranial nerve also via the external approach. Similarly, codes like 002UX0Z and 002UXYZ represent changing drainage and other devices in the spinal canal. These precise codes help document the replacement of devices critical to neurological function, ensuring clear communication and accurate procedural records in neurosurgical care.
