A bit more complex is a partial thyroidectomy. A coder new to ICD-10-PCS may assume this may be coded as excision of the thyroid, but ICD-10-PCS gives anatomical codes for each lobe and the whole. If the partial thyroidectomy involved removal of the entire right lobe, the procedure would be coded as a resection of the right lobe.

B510ZZAICD-10-PCS code B510ZZA for Fluoroscopy of Epidural Veins, Guidance is a medical classification as listed by CMS under Veins range.
Non- invasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPV) uses a ventilator (breathing machine) to help move air into and out of the lungs. Non-invasive ventilation is delivered through a tight-fitting facial or nasal mask, and is pressure assisted to help keep the airways open during inspiration and expiration.
Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for preterm neonates after extubation.
Pressure-regulated volume control (PRVC) is a mode of ventilation in which the ventilator attempts to achieve set tidal volume at lowest possible airway pressure. This mode of ventilation is being commonly used as the initial mode of ventilation in many intensive care units.
Restriction-Root Operation V RestrictionRestriction-Root Operation V Restriction is defined as partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part. The restriction root operation can be performed on an orifice that is natural or artificially created.
Open approach is cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. If procedures are performed using the open approach with percutaneous endoscopic assistance or hand-assisted laparoscopy they are coded as open.
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.

Acute dacryocystitis of bilateral lacrimal passages H04. 323 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H04. 323 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Dacryocele is also known as a dacryocystocele, amniotocele, amniocele, or mucocele. It is formed when a distal blockage (usually membranous) of the lacrimal sac causes distention of the sac, which also kinks and closes off the entrance to the common canaliculus.
Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) is a common condition causing excessive tearing or mucoid discharge from the eyes, due to blockage of the nasolacrimal duct system. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction affects as many as 20% children aged <1 year worldwide and is often resolved without surgery.
0Y6M0ZC is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of detachment at right foot, partial 3rd ray, open approach. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
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. These 2022 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

Example: When the physician documents “partial resection,” you can independently correlate “partial resection” to the root operation “excision” without asking the physician for clarification.
Excision of lesion in the ascending colon and excision of lesion in the transverse colon are coded separately.
Fifty-one of the codes end in an X qualifier code, indicating that they are diagnostic; the remainder indicate “no qualifier.” Given this complexity, it is necessary to assign ICD-10-PCS codes directly.
A specific set of codes ( table 3) appears in the second axis for the anatomical section. Universally specific codes are not used for body parts when they appear in other axial position; they vary with section. For example 0, 1, and 2 are used for right, left and bilateral breast (s) respectively in Imaging and Radiation Oncology, while the codes T, U and V are used in Medical and Surgical. ICD-10-PCS, like ICD-10-CM, stresses laterality. However, unlike -CM, ICD-10-PCS requires the use of laterality because “unspecified” is not an anatomical option.
The definitions of each code are quite precise, and application can be somewhat problematic. For example, excision is defined as “cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part” while resection is “cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.” If a surgical procedure involves the removal of part of one body part and all of another (e.g., thyoridecomy with removal of local lymph nodes), how is it coded? The basic answer is that multiple codes are applied.
A bronchoscopy is a simple example. The basic code is 0BJ (1)8ZZ where (1) is for the deepest anatomical location explored during the procedure. It is assumed all locations above also were explored.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy, commonly called a Whipple procedure, is a complex surgical procedure involving multiple abdominal organs. It has a unique ICD-9 code of 52.7. It has no corresponding ICD-10-PCS code. The procedure be best described by multiple ICD-10-PCS codes representing the specific organ parts that are excised, as no organ is totally removed (a resection). The approach is currently always open and involves no devices or qualifiers.
For example 0, 1, and 2 are used for right, left and bilateral breast (s) respectively in Imaging and Radiation Oncology, while the codes T, U and V are used in Medical and Surgical.
For example, for a code in section 0 (Medical and Surgical), the codes that follow are body system, root operation, body part, approach, device, and qualifier. The actual set of codes for each succeeding character is fixed by the preceding one.
0UB04ZX is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of excision of right ovary, percutaneous endoscopic approach, diagnostic. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
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. These 2022 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
The procedure code 0UB04ZX is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the female reproductive system body system, classified under the excision operation. The applicable bodypart is ovary, right.
Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals . The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
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:
