ICD-10-PCS Code For Bone Marrow: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 072T includes procedures performed to change devices in bone marrow. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a device in or on the bone marrow is removed and an identical or similar device is put back without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 072T group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Bone Marrow Change Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve changing a device in or on the bone marrow without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane. They target the lymphatic and hemic systems by addressing devices that interface with bone marrow. Accurate coding matters because it ensures the inpatient record reflects the exact operation and supports correct reimbursement and case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an existing device in or on the bone marrow is removed and a similar or identical device is placed back during the same encounter without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane. These codes apply in inpatient records where the change operation on the bone marrow device is the documented procedure.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
072TX0Z	Change Drainage Device in Bone Marrow, External Approach
072TXYZ	Change Other Device in Bone Marrow, External Approach

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An inpatient with a tunneled external bone marrow access catheter in place for repeated marrow aspiration develops malfunction with inability to withdraw marrow during a scheduled diagnostic admission. To restore access without creating a new skin puncture, the external catheter is removed and an identical external drainage device is placed back at the same exit site under sterile conditions. The procedure is performed to resume necessary marrow sampling while avoiding a new incision. Typical codes: 072TX0Z
A patient admitted from the emergency department with acute bacterial contamination at the external exit site of a bone marrow access device has purulent drainage but intact skin tract. Because systemic infection risk is high, the external device is withdrawn and an identical external drainage device is exchanged at the same site during the inpatient stay to control drainage and allow ongoing marrow access for urgent therapeutic procedures. The exchange is done without creating a new skin incision. Typical codes: 072TX0Z
During an inpatient admission for persistent device-related discomfort, imaging shows degradation of an external bone marrow collection port’s connector while the skin tract remains viable. The device is removed and replaced with a similar external device at the same site to resolve the mechanical failure and maintain marrow access, performed without cutting or puncturing the skin or mucous membranes. This is documented as a revision of the external device rather than placement of a new device through a new approach. Typical codes: 072TX0Z, 072TXYZ
