ICD-10-PCS has a seven character alphanumeric code structure. Each character contains up to 34 possible values. Each value represents a specific option for the general character definition (e.g., stomach is one of the values for the body part character).

The ICD-10 procedural coding system (ICD-10-PCS) is used by facilities (e.g., hospital) to code procedures. CPT codes are, and will continue to be, used by physicians (and other providers) to report professional services. The two systems are unique and very different.
CPT codes, or procedural codes, describe what kind of procedure a patient has received while ICD codes, or diagnostic codes, describe any diseases, illnesses or injuries a patient may have.
CPT codes®, or the Current Procedural Terminology codes, are five-digit procedure codes that describe the service rendered by the healthcare professional. The MNT codes 97802, 97803, and 97804 are CPT® codes that RDNs use on claims to report nutrition services provided by the RDN.
