In ICD-10-CM, “urethral” is qualified in code T83. 511A for indwelling catheter.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code Z48.81. Click on any term below to browse the alphabetical index.
Since we are still working with a draft copy of ICD-10-CM/PCS, time remains for CMS to consider resolving these types of issues before the final version goes into effect on October 1, 2014.
As most of us have learned by now, the root-operation character in ICD-10-PCS defines the objective of the procedure. There are 31 root operations in the Medical and Surgical Section of ICD-10-PCS, and two of these are discussed below.
The letters OHCT following the last entry of the index indicate that the coder must find the appropriate PCS table labeled 0HC and the fourth character of T. (Note that only a portion of the actual table is provided below.)
The physician documents an evacuation of a hematoma by incision from the right breast, post-excisional biopsy. Even though the term “evacuation” is not a root operation, it can be found in the alphabetical index as a main term. The sub-term “Hematoma” is listed under Evacuation followed by “ see Extirpation.”.
Drainage is the process of taking out, or letting out, fluids and/or gases from a body part. This root operation is coded for both diagnostic and therapeutic drainage procedures. Examples of this type of procedure include 1) thoracentesis and 2) the incision and drainage of an abdominal wall abscess.
As with ICD-9-CM guidelines, the same four cooperating parties approve the guidelines for ICD-10-PCS: the American Hospital Association (AHA), the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
The PCS guidelines (A11) also state that physicians are not required to use the same terminology as is found in the PCS code descriptions. It is the coder’s responsibility to determine what the medical record documentation means in relation to the PCS definitions.
A. Use CPT® code 57311 Closure of urethrovaginal fistula with bulbocavernosus transplant. Append the 52 modifier since bulbocavernosus transplant was not performed.
The CPT code (s) use for the open cystoprostatectomy are 51570 Cystectomy complete (separate procedure) and 55840 Prostatectomy, retropubic radical, with or without nerve sparing. There should be supporting documentation for both procedures.
For the laparoscopic prostatectomy there is only one CPT® code 55866 Laparoscopy, surgical prostatectomy, retropubic radical, including nerve sparing, includes robotic assistance, when performed, now for the laparoscopic cystectomy there is no CPT code so we would have to use an unlisted code, 51999 Unlisted laparoscopy procedure, bladder. The unlisted code would need to be equated to a similar CPT code. You may query your physician.
A. Both surgeons should use the CPT® code 51596, Cystectomy, complete, with continent diversion, any open technique, using any segment of small and/or large intestine to construct neobladder, with modifier -62, Two Surgeons.
A. You would bill CPT code 52000 when endoscopy procedure is being done through a pouch.
If additional procedure (s), including add-on procedure (s), are performed by either surgeon during the same surgical session, separate code (s) can be reported without modifier 62. As of (date) Medicare changed their rules for billing modifier 62 Two surgeons must be from different specialties.
