ICD-10-PCS 0L2 Medical and Surgical: Tendons Change
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (code 0L2) involves replacing or exchanging a device on or in a body part without taking out the body part itself. This is commonly applied in the Medical and Surgical section for procedures involving tendons.
In the context of tendon procedures, Change refers to swapping out devices such as drainage tubes or other implanted hardware without removing the tendon. For example, one can change a Drainage Device in the Upper Tendon, External Approach (code 0L2XX0Z) or perform a similar exchange of other devices within the upper tendon (code 0L2XXYZ). Likewise, devices in the Lower Tendon can be changed externally, whether it is a drainage device (code 0L2YX0Z) or another type of device (code 0L2YXYZ). These codes provide precision in documenting procedures that maintain the tendon while managing associated devices, ensuring accurate clinical and billing records for tendon device management.
