ICD-10-PCS 0J2 Medical and Surgical: Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia Change

The ICD-10-PCS Change root operation (Character J) in the Medical and Surgical section involves taking out a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in the same location. This procedure is done to replace or swap medical devices without altering the anatomical structures.

Within the scope of Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, the Change operation applies to devices located in different body regions such as the Head and Neck, Trunk, Upper Extremity, and Lower Extremity. Examples include changing a Drainage Device (codes like 0J2SX0Z, 0J2TX0Z) or other types of devices (e.g., 0J2SXYZ, 0J2TXYZ) using an External Approach. These codes precisely document procedures where an implanted or external device is exchanged to maintain or restore its function within the subcutaneous tissue or fascia. Accurate use of these ICD-10-PCS Change codes ensures clear representation of device management interventions in clinical records.
