· Ohio Subscriber Answer: For encounters with your surgeon following the Whipple procedure, you’ll need to code the cancer as C25.0 (Malignant neoplasm of head of pancreas). Although the cancer was surgically removed, the patient is in ongoing treatment using chemotherapy and radiation therapy, so you should not use the personal history code.

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are numbers assigned to each task and service a healthcare provider offers. They include medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. Insurers use the numbers to determine how much money to pay a provider.
The main differences between ICD-10 PCS and ICD-10-CM include the following: ICD-10-PCS is used only for inpatient, hospital settings in the U.S., while ICD-10-CM is used in clinical and outpatient settings in the U.S. ICD-10-PCS has about 87,000 available codes while ICD-10-CM has about 68,000.

ICD-10 PCS provides precise and stable definitions of all procedures performed where ICD-9 procedure codes were based on outdated technology and lacked current, accepted definitions . While this standardization is in many ways a benefit of ICD-10 PCS, there are also some drawbacks.
For example, the fifth character of the procedure code refers to the approach type, so a hospital administrator could look at the total volume of open procedures or the total volume of minimally invasive surgeries using just the fifth character. Adding the seventh character, an administrator could look at the total number of biopsies performed across the system on a specific body part, for example. These examples help highlight the powerful level of specificity available for analysis using procedure codes.

Although the shift to ICD-10 required healthcare organizations to change how medical encounters are documented, doing so gives organizations the ability to harness powerful analytics behind ICD-10 procedure codes. Armed with new insights into how inpatient procedural care is delivered, health systems can improve patient outcomes and value.
With ICD-10, there can be multiple procedure codes to document and analyze. In the case of the knee replacement above, if someone looked at only the primary procedure code, he could easily misclassify the procedure. Between the two procedures–total knee replacement and total knee revision–there would be intended variation between the two procedures such as time metrics in the operating room, difference in length of stays, readmission rates, or even cost case events. All of this intended variation would be inaccurately shown as unintended variation if only looking at the primary procedure code.
Fernandez-Cruz et al (2006) stated that the standard surgical procedure for IPMN of the main duct (IPMN-M) or side branch ducts (IPMN-Br) is pancreaticoduodenectomy. IPMN-BR is a more indolent disease with a lower incidence of malignancy. These investigators evaluated the usefulness of organ-preserving pancreatic resections (OPPR) including duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPHR) and pancreatic head resection with segmental duodenectomy (PHRSD) in patients with IPMN-BR. Surgical outcomes were evaluated in 8 IPMN-Br patients: DPHR was performed in 4 patients and PHRSD was performed in 4 patients. In addition, 13 IPMN patients with Whipple resections were included in the analysis. The incidence of post-operative complications was 38 % after Whipple resection, 100 % after DPHR and 25 % after PHRSD. The mean length of hospital stay was 27 days after DPHR, 22 days after Whipple resection and 16 days after PHRSD. Invasive IPMN was found in 38 % of the patients in the Whipple group, and non-invasive IPMN was found in 100 % of patients who underwent organ-preserving surgery. The authors concluded that pancreaticoduodenectomy remains the treatment of choice in patients with invasive IPMN. PHRSD appears to be a useful procedure for IPMN-Br located in the head of the pancreas.
Surgical series have described a variety of operations for IPMN, including total pancreatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, and segmental resection of the tumor. The choice of surgery will be determined by the location of the tumor and the extent of involvement of the gland …. The most common operation is pancreaticoduodenectomy (70 %) because most tumors are in the head of the pancreas".
In a review on surgical treatment and prognosis of gastrinoma, Norton (2005) noted that Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy results in the highest probability of cure in both sporadic and MEN-1 gastrinoma patients as it removes the entire gastrinoma triangle. However, the excellent long-term survival of these patients with lesser operations and the increased operative mortality and long-term morbidity of Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy make its current role unclear until further studies are done.
The most common Whipple procedure is an en bloc removal of: Distal segment (antrum) of the stomach. First and second portions of the duodenum. Head of the pancreas. Common bile duct. Gallbladder.
Excise Bad Whipple Procedure Coding. A pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, or Whipple, is a surgical procedure involving the pancreas, intestines, and other organs. It is usually performed to treat malignancies on the head of the pancreas, common bile duct, or duodenum (which are near the pancreas) but also may be performed in abdominal ...
Codes 48150 and 48152 describe the standard Whipple procedures, with partial pancreatectomy (subtotal), total removal of the duodenum, partial removal of the stomach, and anastomosis of the bile duct to the intestines and the stomach to the jejunum. Code 48150 includes anastomosis of the pancreatic ducts with the jejunum (pancreatojejunostomy)—48152 does not include this repair.
Code 48150 includes anastomosis of the pancreatic ducts with the jejunum (pancreatojejunostomy)—48152 does not include this repair. Codes 48153 and 48154 describe the same procedures, by pylorus-sparing technique. The pylorus-sparing pancreaticoduodenectomy is the procedure performed more often.
