Nonautologous Tissue Substitute (K)—bone is harvested by a tissue bank from a cadaver. Synthetic Substitute (J)—examples include demineralized bone matrix, synthetic bone graft extenders, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP)

The replacement root operation includes taking out the body part. Examples of replacement procedures include total hip replacement, bone graft, free skin graft, phacoemulsification with IOL implant, aortic valve replacement, and total right knee arthroplasty with prosthesis.
The root operation is the third character in the PCS code and describes the intent or the objective of the procedure. The majority of PCS codes reported for the inpatient setting are found in the Medical and Surgical section of ICD-10-PCS.
Skin Substitutes and Biologicals HCPCS Code range Q4100-Q4258.
Skin substitute graft procedures include the application of non-autologous human skin (dermal or epidermal, cellular and acellular) grafts (e.g., homograft, allograft), non-human skin substitute grafts (i.e., xenograft), and biological products that form a sheet scaffolding for skin growth.
A patient's own tissue - an autograft - can often be used for a surgical reconstruction procedure. Allograft tissue, taken from another person, takes longer to incorporate into the recpient's body .
Cell suspension autografts, as named, are solutions containing skin cells and do not take the form of a sheet of tissue. Cell suspension autografts adhere to the recipient site without use of fixation (e.g. by sutures).
CPT instructs that harvesting and repairing the skin graft donor site is included in the skin graft code (and its valuation). You repair a nasal defect with both an adjacent tissue rearrangement (CPT 14060) and a full thickness skin graft (CPT 15260).
The CPT® codes for full-thickness autografts include 15240-15261. These codes do not differentiate between adults and infants or children.

The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
