CCI component 2 codes - what was done
Procedure:	Installation of External Appliance
CCI 2 code:	37
CCI Collection Mode:	CCI collect each

This procedure is a part of CCI Collection. This is one of the CCI component 2 codes - what was done.

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
