Final OPS version 2023 released

BfArM published the final version of the OPS 2023 on October 27th.

On October 27th, the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices published the final version of the OPS 2023 on its website.

The OPS is the official classification for coding surgeries and medical procedures in the in-patient sector. It is also used in the out-patient sector to a limited extent.

In addition to the updates in the preliminary version, new codes for revision surgeries after a gastric resection and the implantation of splints in the bronchus were included. A few codes were cancelled while others were added in the area of drugs. More changes concern the definition of OPS-codes due to an adaptation of their notes.

A summary of the changes to the 2022 version is provided in the newsfeed on BfArM’s website.

The OPS version 2023 can be downloaded here at BfArM.
