1. Monitoring of urinary flow

The first objective is to determine what is the procedure being performed. What’s being done when we’re measuring or monitoring.

2. Fetal monitoring of cardiac electrical activity via natural opening

Now, let’s look at some other examples. We walked through this one.

3. Monitoring of respiratory flow, via nose – nasal cannula

Here’s one that’s very common again. The objective: we’re monitoring. What are we doing? Respiratory is the body system. For what? The flow. So, monitoring, respiratory and flow gives us the codes 4A19. So, we’d look in the Index, monitoring, then go into respiratory and flow, that gives us to the section 4A19.

4. External measurement of cardiac pacemaker

I think we have the last one that is also a very common PCS code – “External measurement of cardiac pacemaker.” What’s the objective here? We’re not monitoring anymore, we’re measuring. So, you’re going to go to the index to measurement. What are we measuring? The cardiac is the body system – cardiac.
