ICD-10-PCS 0W2 Medical and Surgical: Anatomical Regions, General Change
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (code 0W2) refers to the procedure involving the removal and replacement of a device in or on an anatomical region. This operation is classified under the Medical and Surgical section and covers a broad range of body parts where devices may need to be exchanged.
The provided codes detail specific instances of the Change operation targeting various devices, often drainage or other types, using an External Approach. Examples include changing a drainage device in the Head (code 0W20X0Z), the Cranial Cavity (0W21X0Z), and the Face (0W22X0Z). Additionally, codes cover other anatomical locations such as the Upper Jaw, Neck, Chest Wall, and Pelvic Cavity. Each code specifies if the device replaced is a drainage device or another type, reflecting the procedure’s specificity. Proper use of these Change codes ensures accurate coding of device replacement procedures critical for procedural reporting and reimbursement.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 0W2 - Change (taking out or off a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in or on the same body part without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane). There are a total of 39 procedure codes in this section.
