ICD-10-PCS 0MH Medical and Surgical: Bursae and Ligaments Insertion

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Insertion (code 0MH) refers to putting in a device that does not remain after the procedure into a body part. This operation specifically applies to the Medical and Surgical section focused on bursae and ligaments.

Insertion is used when a device is introduced into an anatomical structure such as the Upper or Lower Bursa and Ligament, either to support, protect, or aid healing. The approach to performing this insertion can vary, including an Open Approach, a minimally invasive Percutaneous Approach, or a Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach. Examples of specific ICD-10-PCS codes include 0MHX0YZ for insertion into the upper bursa and ligament by open surgery, and 0MHY4YZ for insertion into the lower bursa and ligament using a percutaneous endoscopic method. These codes help clinicians accurately document the placement of devices supporting bursae or ligament structures during surgical procedures.
