ICD-10-PCS Code For Lower Bursa And Ligament: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0MHY includes procedures performed to insert nonbiological appliances that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function in lower bursae and ligaments. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a device is placed into a lower bursa or ligament to support or monitor physiological function without replacing the tissue. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0MHY group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Lower Bursa And Ligament Insertion Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes inpatient insertion procedures that place nonbiological appliances into lower bursae and ligaments to monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function without replacing the body part. These procedures target the bursae and ligaments of the lower extremity and surrounding structures. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these insertions is important for documenting the procedure performed and for appropriate inpatient reimbursement.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with chronic, painful trochanteric bursitis refractory to conservative care (physical therapy, injections, and analgesics) is admitted electively for surgical placement of a nonbiological device into the trochanteric bursa to provide long‑term mechanical protection and reduce recurrent frictional inflammation; the procedure is planned and performed via an open approach to ensure proper device placement in scarred tissue. Typical codes: 0MHY0YZ
A middle‑aged athlete presents acutely with a symptomatic partial tear of an inferior gluteal ligament complex causing instability and recurrent subluxation; after failed conservative management, the surgical team performs a minimally invasive percutaneous insertion of an adjunctive nonbiological appliance into the affected ligament to assist function and limit further injury, performed as a same‑admission procedure. Typical codes: 0MHY3YZ
A patient admitted for worsening pain and mechanical irritation months after an initial endoscopic procedure has a migrated supportive device within a lower extremity bursa; during the inpatient stay, the surgeon performs a percutaneous endoscopic revision to place a replacement nonbiological appliance correctly into the bursa to restore function and prevent further tissue damage. Typical codes: 0MHY4YZ
