ICD-10-PCS XT2 New Technology: Urinary System Monitoring
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Monitoring (Character Sequence XT2) in the New Technology section refers to the ongoing assessment and observation of a body system to track its condition or function. This operation is distinct from diagnostic testing as it emphasizes continuous or repeated evaluation rather than a one-time examination.
Within this classification, the focus is on advanced methods and technologies applied to monitor specific body systems. For example, the code XT25XE5 describes the Monitoring of the Kidney using a specialized technique involving Fluorescent Pyrazine through an External Approach, categorized under New Technology Group 5. Such innovation-based monitoring codes capture modern procedural nuances in assessing organ function over time, particularly in the Urinary System. Utilizing these ICD-10-PCS monitoring codes ensures precise documentation of cutting-edge observation methods, supporting enhanced patient care and technological advancements in medical practice.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify XT2 - Monitoring (determining the level of a physiological or physical function repetitively over a periodof time). There are a total of 2 procedure codes in this section.
