ICD-10-PCS 0Y2 Medical and Surgical: Anatomical Regions, Lower Extremities Change
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (code 0Y2) refers to the procedure of exchanging a device without removing the original device first or only partially removing it. This operation is commonly applied in the Medical and Surgical section for anatomical regions such as the Lower Extremities.
The Change operation is used to replace drainage or other devices in the lower limbs using an External Approach. For example, code 0Y29X0Z specifies changing a drainage device in the Right Lower Extremity, while 0Y2BX0Z indicates changing a drainage device in the Left Lower Extremity. Similarly, codes like 0Y29XYZ and 0Y2BXYZ represent changing other types of devices in the respective lower extremities via an external approach. These ICD-10-PCS Change operation codes enable precise documentation of device management procedures important for patient care and accurate medical records.
