ICD-10-PCS 0CH Medical and Surgical: Mouth and Throat Insertion

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Insertion (code 0CH) refers to putting in a device or radioactive element into a body part without taking it out. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation is specifically applied to the Mouth and Throat body system.

This Insertion operation includes procedures such as placing a radioactive implant into the Tongue using various methods, including Open, Percutaneous, or External Approaches (e.g., codes 0CH701Z, 0CH731Z, and 0CH7X1Z). It also covers inserting devices or radioactive elements into the Salivary Gland and Larynx, via Open, Percutaneous, or Natural or Artificial Openings, both endoscopic and non-endoscopic (e.g., codes 0CHA01Z, 0CHA71Z, 0CHS31Z, and 0CHS81Z). Additionally, devices including airways can be inserted into broader locations of the Mouth and Throat using similar approaches (e.g., codes 0CHY7BZ and 0CHY8BZ). These detailed codes enable precise documentation of insertion procedures in the head and neck region.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0CH - Insertion (putting in a non-biological appliance that monitors, assists, performs or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part). There are a total of 30 procedure codes in this section.
