When coding angiography procedures in ICD-10-PCS, a number of variables can make it challenging to get the coding right. For instance, knowing what value a particular type of contrast maps to is necessary to assign codes accurately.
If multiple coronary artery sites are bypassed, a separate procedure is coded for each coronary artery site that uses a different device and/or qualifier. ICD-10-PCS Guideline B3.9. If an autograft is obtained from a different body part in order to complete the objective of the procedure, a separate procedure is coded. ICD-10-PCS Guideline B4.4.
In the imaging section of PCS, unlike arteries, the vein body parts are not divided into tables for upper and lower sites. ICD-10-PCS has character values for 3 types of contrast and a 4th character value of “None” for procedures performed without contrast.

ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.

Angiograms are performed primarily to diagnose vascular disease throughout the body. It’s common to see the diagnoses in the list below as the pre/post-operative diagnosis for angiography procedures. Pain in chest/angina. Coronary artery/heart disease (CAD) (CHD) Arterio/atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) Ischemic heart disease (IHD) ...
The 6 th and 7 th character of a PCS angiography code are qualifiers which allow additional explanatory information to be communicated by the code. Some qualifiers and their values are specific to certain imaging “types”. For example, the value of “0” indicates a qualifier of “Unenhanced and Enhanced” for the CT and MRI imaging types but indicates “intraoperative” for the fluoroscopy imaging type. This means qualifier values are not necessarily interchangeable, so the PCS table should always be consulted to determine the correct value to assign.
Angiography is a radiological procedure that uses fluoroscopy, x-ray, CT or MRI to image arteries and veins in relation to vascular obstructions such as atherosclerosis , embolism or thrombus or vascular anomalies.
Fluoroscopy is the most common type of imaging for angiography.
The following are some of the details about what information the values for the 7 characters used to create an ICD-10-PCS angiography code report.
Diagnostic angiogram is often performed immediately preceding a therapeutic procedure such an angioplasty or thrombectomy and when looking for disease in the heart, angiography is often accompanied by a diagnostic heart cath.
All angiography codes will come from the “Imaging” section of ICD-10-PCS, but the correct code table will vary based on the value of the Body System character.
