ICD-10-PCS 0B2 Medical and Surgical: Respiratory System Change

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (Code 0B2) refers to the replacement of a device without taking out the entire device first. This operation applies within the Medical and Surgical section, specifically targeting the Respiratory System.

The Change root operation is used when a device in the respiratory structures is exchanged via an External Approach. Examples include changing a Drainage Device or an Endotracheal Airway in parts such as the Tracheobronchial Tree (code 0B20X0Z), the Trachea (codes 0B21X0Z, 0B21XEZ), or the Lungs (right and left, such as code 0B2KX0Z for the right lung). The procedure includes changing devices in related structures like the Pleura and the Diaphragm, ensuring functional device maintenance without complete removal. Accurately coding these respiratory system change procedures ensures precise documentation of device replacement interventions.
