ICD-10-PCS 0P2 Medical and Surgical: Upper Bones Change
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (code 0P2) involves replacing a device without taking out and reinserting it during the same procedure. This operation applies within the Medical and Surgical section, specifically targeting the Upper Bones.
The Change operation is used when a medical device in or on the body part, such as a drainage device or another implant, needs to be swapped via an External Approach. For example, the code 0P2YX0Z refers to changing a Drainage Device in the Upper Bone, while 0P2YXYZ covers changing Other Devices in the same body part and approach. These codes are important for capturing the clinical scenario where a device is replaced but not fully removed and re-implanted, ensuring accurate procedural documentation in upper bone interventions.
