ICD-10-PCS Code For Hepatobiliary Duct: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0F2B includes procedures performed to change devices in the hepatobiliary duct. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when an existing device in the hepatobiliary duct is removed and an identical or similar device is inserted without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0F2B group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Hepatobiliary Duct Change Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes inpatient codes for changing implanted or external devices in the hepatobiliary system and pancreas that access or traverse the hepatobiliary duct. Procedures involve taking out or off a device from the hepatobiliary duct and putting back an identical or similar device in or on the same duct without cutting or puncturing the skin or mucous membrane. These changes target the hepatobiliary duct and related biliary apparatus. Accurate coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the exact device change and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an existing device in the hepatobiliary duct is taken out and an identical or similar device is put back into the same duct without cutting or puncturing the skin or mucous membrane. Do not use these codes for initial device placement, device removal without replacement, or procedures that require open surgical access.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
0F2BX0Z	Change Drainage Device in Hepatobiliary Duct, External Approach
0F2BXYZ	Change Other Device in Hepatobiliary Duct, External Approach

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient admitted with retained external hepatobiliary drain malfunctioning after percutaneous biliary decompression for obstructive jaundice. The existing external drainage catheter is removed and an identical external drainage device is inserted through the same percutaneous tract at bedside without creating a new incision or entering the peritoneal cavity to restore biliary drainage. The procedure is performed urgently to relieve cholestasis and prevent ascending cholangitis. Typical codes: 0F2BX0Z
A stable patient scheduled electively for exchange of a tunneled external biliary drain placed previously for malignant biliary obstruction. During the inpatient admission for planned device management, the indwelling external drainage catheter is taken out and a similar external device is reinserted through the existing tract without surgical cutdown to maintain long-term biliary drainage. Typical codes: 0F2BX0Z
A patient with a chronically indwelling hepatobiliary stent presenting with persistent bile leak around the drain and device-related pain. The decision is made to remove the malfunctioning device and replace it with a comparable external biliary device using the existing percutaneous entry to correct the leak and address device failure; no open procedure or mucosal incision is performed. Typical codes: 0F2BX0Z, 0F2BXYZ
