ICD-10-PCS 4B0 Measurement and Monitoring: Physiological Devices Measurement

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Measurement (code 4B0) involves quantifying physiological parameters using devices, typically to assess the function or status of implanted or external medical equipment. This operation belongs to the Measurement and Monitoring section.

The Measurement root operation applies specifically to physiological devices and includes various body systems such as the nervous, cardiac, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems. Codes like 4B00XVZ and 4B01XVZ illustrate measurement of stimulators for the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System using an External Approach. Similarly, cardiac devices such as pacemakers (4B02XSZ) and defibrillators (4B02XTZ) can be measured externally. The list also includes the measurement of respiratory pacemakers (4B09XSZ) and musculoskeletal stimulators (4B0FXVZ). These codes are essential for documenting the accurate monitoring and functional status checks of implanted or external physiological devices in clinical practice.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 4B0 - Measurement (determining the level of a physiological or physical function at a point in time). There are a total of 8 procedure codes in this section.
