ICD-10-PCS 092 Medical and Surgical: Ear, Nose, Sinus Change
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (code sequence 092) refers to replacing a device without removing the existing device first or reinstating a similar device. This operation is classified under the Medical and Surgical section and applies specifically to procedures involving the Ear, Nose, and Sinus body systems.
The Change root operation is used when a device, such as a drainage apparatus or other implant, is exchanged through an External Approach. For example, changing a drainage device in the right ear is coded as 092HX0Z, while replacing an other device in the left ear uses code 092JXYZ. This operation also covers changes of devices in the nasal mucosa and soft tissue (e.g., 092KX0Z) and sinus (e.g., 092YX0Z). Understanding and applying these ear, nose, and sinus change codes ensures accurate procedural documentation for device management within these related body parts.
