When to Use

Use a code from this group when an existing diaphragm device is removed and an identical or similar device is reinserted or reapplied in the same procedure without incision or puncture. Do not use these codes for procedures that involve cutting, puncturing, or modifying the diaphragm itself or placing a different type of device.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
0B2TX0Z	Change Drainage Device in Diaphragm, External Approach
0B2TXYZ	Change Other Device in Diaphragm, External Approach

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A postpartum woman with a long-standing diaphragm contraceptive device presents electively for replacement because the device is worn and no longer fits properly after recent childbirth; she is admitted for a planned procedure to remove the existing diaphragm and fit and place an identical-style replacement without incision, performed via external manipulation. Typical codes: 0B2TX0Z.
An adult patient with an external diaphragmatic pacing device experiencing device malfunction (loss of stimulation) is admitted urgently for evaluation and bedside exchange of the external pacing/monitoring component; the failed external device is removed and a similar external device is reapplied to restore function without cutaneous incision. Typical codes: 0B2TX0Z, 0B2TXYZ.
A patient with a chronic drainage sheath applied to the diaphragm region after previous surgery develops recurrent blockage of the external drainage apparatus and signs of infection; during an inpatient revision, the external drainage device is removed and an identical drainage device is replaced at the same site without creating a new incision or puncture. Typical codes: 0B2TX0Z.
