The majority of PCS codes reported for the inpatient setting are found in the Medical and Surgical section of ICD-10-PCS. There are 31 root operations in this section. The entire list can be found with definitions and examples beginning on page 117 of the ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual.
This memorandum recommends that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) consider the appropriateness of one of the two current procedural terminology (CPT) codes for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Currently, ECT can be billed under 90870, Single Seizure; or 90871, Multiple Seizures, per day.
Overview. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a procedure, done under general anesthesia, in which small electric currents are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure. ECT seems to cause changes in brain chemistry that can quickly reverse symptoms of certain mental health conditions.
For a PCS code to be valid, it must be built from the same PCS table, with characters four through seven in the same row of the table. You cannot choose one character from one row and another character from a different row.

2022 ICD-10-PCS Codes 0191*: Cervical Nerve.
The first objective is to determine what is the procedure being performed. What’s being done when we’re measuring or monitoring.
Now, let’s look at some other examples. We walked through this one.
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.
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.
