CCI component 2 codes - what was done
Procedure:	Installation of External Appliance
CCI 2 code:	37
CCI Collection Mode:	CCI collect each
Stop Date:	2018-12-21

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

This CCI code was retired because all scenarios we are interested in should actually be coded under Implantation of Internal Device.

Additional Info

• An external appliance is one in which the ENTIRE THING is outside the body (viewed broadly).
  • examples: external (surface) defibrillator, false teeth
• In fact we will rarely code these because with rare exceptions they're really minor things.
• By contrast, use Implantation of Internal Device for a device for which ANY PART OF IT IS in the body. It does NOT have to be entirely in the body. Examples include PEG tube, nephrostomy tube, internal pacemaker, temporary pacemaker, Porta-cath.
• NOTE: We are only coding insertion/implantation of these devices, NOT their removal or subsequent management.

Collecting "CCI collect each" items

• "CCI collect each" items are entered each time they happen

  • if an Admit Procedure leave the date blank
