ICD-10-PCS 0N2 Medical and Surgical: Head and Facial Bones Change
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (Code 0N2) involves replacing or removing all or a portion of a device from a body part and inserting a new device. This operation is commonly used within the Medical and Surgical section for procedures involving the Head and Facial Bones.
Specifically, the Change operation applies to the replacement of devices such as drainage systems or other implanted hardware in areas including the Skull, Nasal Bone, and Facial Bones. For example, code 0N20X0Z describes changing a drainage device in the skull using an External Approach, while code 0N2BXYZ pertains to changing other devices in the nasal bone, also via external approach. These codes highlight the precision of ICD-10-PCS in capturing exact locations and device types involved in the procedure. Proper coding using these Change operation codes ensures accurate documentation of device replacement surgeries in the head and facial skeletal regions.
