ICD-10-PCS 0C2 Medical and Surgical: Mouth and Throat Change
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (code 0C2) involves taking out a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in the same location without cutting or puncturing the skin or mucous membrane anew. This operation is commonly performed in the Medical and Surgical section, specifically within the Mouth and Throat body system.
The provided codes highlight how Change is applied to replace devices such as drainage devices or other implanted devices in key areas like the Salivary Gland, Larynx, and general Mouth and Throat. Procedures coded with External Approach describe device replacement done without entering through an incision or natural orifice anew, emphasizing minimally invasive access. For example, code 0C2AX0Z stands for changing a drainage device in the salivary gland, while 0C2SXYZ represents changing other devices in the larynx. Accurately documenting these device changes ensures precise procedural records for patients receiving care in the mouth and throat region.
