ICD-10-PCS 0R2 Medical and Surgical: Upper Joints Change
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Change (Character R2) involves taking out a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in the same location. This operation applies within the Medical and Surgical section and refers specifically to procedures on Upper Joints.
The Change operation is primarily used when an existing device, such as a drainage or other implant in an upper joint, needs to be replaced without altering the joint itself. For example, code 0R2YXYZ refers to changing a device in the upper joint through an External Approach. Similarly, code 0R2YX0Z specifies changing a Drainage Device in the upper joint via the same approach. These codes precisely document the removal and replacement process of devices within joint spaces, ensuring accurate representation of the procedure performed. Proper use of these ICD-10-PCS codes supports detailed clinical and billing documentation for joint-related device management.
