Procedures performed following a delivery or abortion for curettage of the endometrium or evacuation of retained products of conception are all coded in the Obstetrics section, to the root operation Extraction and the body part Products of Conception, Retained.

The Obstetrics section is one of the smaller sections in ICD-10-PCS. It contains a single body system value, pregnancy (0), 12 root operation values, and three body part values: Products of Conception (0), Products of Conception, Retained (1), and Products of Conception, Ectopic (2).
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.
10A07ZZAbortion of Products of Conception, Via Natural or Artificial Opening. ICD-10-PCS 10A07ZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure. ICD-10-PCS 10A07ZZ is intended for females as it is clinically and virtually impossible to be applicable to a male.
Instead of the large incision required for traditional heart or vascular surgery, percutaneous approaches use special catheters and devices to treat the problem through one or more small puncture sites through the skin.
Extraction of Products of Conception2022 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 10D00Z1: Extraction of Products of Conception, Low, Open Approach.
The code descriptor for 69.02 is Dilation and curettage following delivery and abortion. This code would be assigned whether or not the procedure was performed with or without a scope.
Percutaneous endoscopic-assisted procedures are coded to the open approach as stated above. Percutaneous approach is entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and/or any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure.
Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach The access location for this approach is the skin or mucous membrane with visualization instrumentation being used to reach the operative site. Laparoscopy with ablation of endometriosis of the endometrium is performed via a percutaneous endoscopic approach.
A spontaneous delivery is a vaginal delivery that is manually assisted with no use of instrumentation such as forceps or vacuum extraction. In ICD-10-PCS, the code for this procedure will be the same every time, 10E0XZZ.
As a result the simple ICD-9-CM procedure code for labor induction, 73.4 (“Medical Induction of Labor”) has been replaced with the rather generic and opaque ICD-10-PCS procedure code: 3E033VJ (“Introduction of other hormone into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach”).
Artificial rupture of the fetal membranes (AROM) is carried out and Pitocin is given intravenously in the peripheral vein to augment labor.

Percutaneous abscess drainage uses imaging guidance to place a needle or catheter through the skin into the abscess to remove or drain the infected fluid. It offers faster recovery than open surgical drainage. Patients who undergo this procedure are usually hospitalized.
Expand Section. A percutaneous nephrostomy is the placement of a small, flexible rubber tube (catheter) through your skin into your kidney to drain your urine. It is inserted through your back or flank.
Open surgery An "open" surgery means the cutting of skin and tissues so that the surgeon has a full view of the structures or organs involved.
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
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.
Example: Amniocentesis is coded to the products of conception body part in the Obstetrics section.
Procedures performed on the products of conception are coded to the Obstetrics section . Procedures performed on the pregnant female other than the products of conception are coded to the appropriate root operation in the Medical and Surgical section.
The Obstetrics section is a good section with which to begin ICD-10-PCS training because of the relatively limited number of root operations and tables. While there are two root operations that apply only to Obstetrics, the other 10 root operations also are used in the Medical and Surgical section. Learning the definitions of those 10 root operations common to both sections and learning how these definitions are applied in the Obstetrics section will help coders understand how they are used and applied in the Medical and Surgical section as well. In the process of learning ICD-10-PCS Obstetrics coding, coders also will become familiar with the format of the tables and will be able to learn how to easily use these tables to construct a code.
There are limited coding guidelines currently available for ICD-10-PCS. In fact, only the Medical and Surgical section and Obstetrics section have any guidelines at all. For the Obstetric section, the available guidelines include a single guideline related to products of conception and a single guideline related to procedures following delivery or abortion. These guidelines are:
Percutaneous endoscopic approach (character value 4) is defined as entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach and visualize the site of the procedure. The access location for this approach is the skin or mucous membrane with visualization instrumentation being used to reach the operative site.
One of ICD-10-PCS’s goals is to ensure a complete picture of a patient’s procedure. Completeness means that there is a unique code for all substantially different procedures, including the same procedure performed using a different approach.
A procedure performed via a percutaneous approach (character value 3) is one in which there is entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure.
The code for liposuction, for medical purposes, left upper arm, is 0JDF3ZZ.
An approach made via natural or artificial opening with percutaneous endoscopic assistance (character value F) is defined as the entry of instrumentation through a natural or artificial external opening and entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to aid in the performance of the procedure.
