ICD-10-PCS 02J Medical and Surgical: Heart and Great Vessels Inspection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (code 02J) refers to the visual and/or manual examination of the Heart and Great Vessels without making any physical changes. This operation is performed to assess these cardiovascular structures for diagnostic purposes.

Within the Medical and Surgical section, inspection of the Heart and Great Vessels can be done via several approaches. Examples include an Open Approach to directly visualize the heart (code 02JA0ZZ) or a less invasive Percutaneous (code 02JA3ZZ) or Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (code 02JA4ZZ). Similar methods apply to inspecting the great vessels, such as the open (code 02JY0ZZ), percutaneous (code 02JY3ZZ), and percutaneous endoscopic approaches (code 02JY4ZZ). These inspection codes facilitate precise documentation of diagnostic examinations focused on the heart and its major blood vessels.
