Additional Info

  • This is a type of "what was done" to the body part in question --- it applies to Therapeutic Procedures only.
  • This can be a tricky item to distinguish from Implantation of Internal Device, especially when it comes to cardiovascular devices.
  • ECMO is included here, because even though the catheter is partially internal, the actual blood oxygenator is external. If you were to code the placement of the catheters for ECMO, that would be Implantation of Internal Device
  • Things that go entirely within, or from outside to inside the body are considered to be internal devices.
  • NOTE: We are only coding insertion/implantation of these devices, NOT their removal or subsequent management.

Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition

Other procedure in Therapeutic Procedure:

(enter links to ICD10 codes that would likely go with this CCI procedure, but only in case of close relation, ie not every dx that might require this procedure)
