0M2XXYZ	Change Other Device in Upper Bursa and Ligament, External Approach

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient on anticoagulation presents to the hospital with acute swelling and increasing pain over the lateral shoulder after minor trauma. Imaging and clinical exam suggest collection around the subacromial bursa with an external drainage device in place that is malfunctioning; the device is removed and an identical external drainage catheter is placed at the bedside without incision or puncture of a mucous membrane. This change is performed to restore adequate bursal drainage and control pain and swelling. Typical codes: 0M2XX0Z
A middle-aged patient with chronic rotator cuff bursitis admitted electively for management after failure of conservative therapy has an external bursal infusion device that needs scheduled replacement to maintain ongoing corticosteroid delivery. During the inpatient episode, the worn external device is taken off and replaced with a similar external device without cutting or puncturing the skin to continue therapeutic delivery to the affected bursa and ligament structures. Typical codes: 0M2XX0Z
A post-operative patient develops drainage device site irritation and suspected device-related dermatitis around an external bursal device placed after shoulder reconstruction. To address the local complication and prevent infection, the external device is removed and an identical external device is placed at the same site under sterile technique without incision or mucous membrane penetration. Typical codes: 0M2XX0Z, 0M2XXYZ
