ICD-10-PCS 0P5 Medical and Surgical: Upper Bones Destruction

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Destruction (code 0P5) refers to the intentional termination of the function of a body part, typically by methods that ablate or eliminate tissue. In the Medical and Surgical section, this operation specifically targets the Upper Bones body system.

This root operation is applied when diseased or problematic bone tissue requires destruction without removal. Examples in the ICD-10-PCS system include the destruction of the Sternum via various approaches such as Open (0P500ZZ), Percutaneous (0P503ZZ), and Percutaneous Endoscopic (0P504ZZ). Similarly, ribs (1 to 2 or 3 or more), vertebrae (cervical and thoracic), and upper extremity bones like the Scapula, Clavicle, Humeral Head and Shaft, and bones of the Radius, Ulna, Carpal, Metacarpal, and Phalanges are frequently targeted using open, percutaneous, and percutaneous endoscopic techniques. Certain codes also specify the use of advanced methods such as Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for vertebral destruction (e.g., 0P530Z3).

Accurate coding of these procedures ensures precise documentation of the method and anatomical site involved in upper bone destruction, guiding clinical management and billing.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0P5 - Destruction (physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force or a destructive agent). There are a total of 88 procedure codes in this section.
