ICD-10-PCS 0MJ Medical and Surgical: Bursae and Ligaments Inspection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (code 0MJ) involves visually and/or manually examining bursae and ligaments without altering their structure. This operation is classified under the Medical and Surgical section and focuses on assessing these connective tissues to aid diagnosis or treatment planning.

In this classification, the Inspection procedure can be performed on both the Upper and Lower Bursae and Ligaments. Examples include an Open Approach for thorough manual examination (e.g., code 0MJX0ZZ for upper structures and 0MJY0ZZ for lower), as well as less invasive methods such as Percutaneous (codes 0MJX3ZZ and 0MJY3ZZ) or Percutaneous Endoscopic Approaches (codes 0MJX4ZZ and 0MJY4ZZ). The External Approach (codes 0MJXXZZ and 0MJYXZZ) allows inspection without penetrating tissue. These codes enable accurate documentation of diagnostic inspection procedures involving bursae and ligaments, supporting precise clinical communication and billing.
