ICD-10-PCS (Procedure Codes) has been developed as a replacement for Volume 3 of the ICD-9-CM. ICD-10-PCS has a 7 character alpha-numeric code structure that provides a unique code for all substantially different procedures, and allows new procedures to be incorporated as new codes. All procedures currently performed can be specified in ICD-10-PCS.
The ICD-10 Clinical Concept guide contains commonly used ICD-10 codes used in Physical Therapy diagnosis. It is provided as a quick reference to help health care providers quickly find commonly used ICD-10 codes in the respective specialty. The complete list of ICD-10 diagnosis codes is also available in tabular format to find a specific code .
ICD-10-PCS is also distinct from CPT® — the other procedural code set used to report services and procedures in outpatient healthcare settings. Among its challenges, facility coders need working knowledge of anatomy and medical terminology — and access to lay terms written in everyday language — to code in ICD-10-PCS.
The ICD-10-PCS coding system is essential to hospital coding because it is often paired with the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code to determine the Diagnostic Related Group (DRG) through the hospital reports to be paid.
In all cases, physicians will bill the available code that most appropriately describes the level of the services provided. That means, if you provide critical care you should bill for critical care, regardless of whether that service was provided on the day of admission or the day of discharge.
CPT® code 99212: Established patient office visit, 10-19 minutes | American Medical Association. Overdose Epidemic.
It should only be used once per calendar date per patient by the same physician or physician group of the same specialty. CPT code 99292 is used to report additional block(s) of time, of up to 30 minutes each beyond the first 74 minutes of critical care (See table below).
Encounter for other preprocedural examinationICD-10 code Z01. 818 for Encounter for other preprocedural examination is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
CPT 99211 Description: An outpatient visit or office visit of an established patient. A qualified healthcare professional (physician or other) may not be required. CPT 99212 Description: An outpatient visit or office visit of an established patient. The visit involves management and evaluation.
A tip for billing 99212 is that the presenting problems are usually self-limited or minor. Typically, 10 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family. A tip for code 99213 is to think of expanded visits as a sum of the continued symptoms or another extended form of the problem.
We need to add modifier 25 to both 99291 and 99292 when billing CC with other non-bundled procedure codes such as ET Intubation, CPR and CVP. In this case, add modifier 25 to 99292 and sudmit the claim.
To bill critical care time, emergency physicians must spend 30 minutes or longer on patient care. Used to report the additive total of the first 30-74 minutes of critical care performed on a given date. Critical care time totaling less than 30 minutes is reported using the appropriate E/M code.
Therefore, you shouldn't attach modifier –25 (significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician on the same day of the procedure or other service) to 99291-99292.
Z0000 - ICD 10 Diagnosis Code - Encounter for general adult medical examination without abnormal findings - Market Size, Prevalence, Incidence, Quality Outcomes, Top Hospitals & Physicians.
When you bill for this service, the primary diagnosis on the claim, and the one attached to the EM code on the line item, will be a Z code (e.g., Z01. 818, “Encounter for other preprocedural examination”). The secondary diagnosis will be the reason for the surgery, the cataract in the right eye (e.g., H25.

Physical rehabilitation section codes represent procedures including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology. Osteopathic procedures and chiropractic procedures are in sections 7 and 9 respectively. Physical rehabilitation and diagnostic audiology procedure codes have a first character value of “F”. The second character specifies the section qualifier Rehabilitation or Diagnostic Audiology. The third character specifies the root type.
Extracorporeal assistance and performance procedure codes have a first character value of “5”. The second character value for body system is physiological systems.
Placement section codes represent procedures for putting an externally placed device in or on a body region for the purpose of protection, immobilization, stretching, compression or packing. Placement procedure codes have a first character value of “2”.
The Medical and Surgical section codes represent the vast majority of procedures reported in an inpatient setting. Medical and surgical procedure codes have a first character value of "0". The 2nd character indicates the general body system (e.g., gastrointestinal).
Obstetrics procedure codes have a first character value of “1”. The second character value for body system is Pregnancy . The root operations Change, Drainage, Extraction, Insertion, Inspection, Removal, Repair, Reposition, Resection and Transplantation are used in the obstetrics section, and have the same meaning as in the medical and surgical section.

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.

If a delivery occurs during an admission and there is an “in childbirth” option for the obstetric complication being coded, the “in childbirth” code should be assigned. If the complication occurs after delivery , the “in puerperium” code should be assigned if available.
Codes from this category also require either a fifth or sixth character specifying the trimester. Code O30.0, Twin pregnancy, is further classified by whether the twin pregnancy is monoamniotic/monochorionic, conjoined twins, other twin pregnancy, or unspecified twin pregnancy.
Obstetric cases require diagnosis codes from chapter 15 of ICD-10-CM, “Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Puerperium.” It includes categories O00–O9A arranged in the following blocks:
Because certain obstetric conditions or complications occur during certain trimesters, not all conditions include codes for all three trimesters.
Similar to ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM obstetric codes in chapter 15 have sequencing priority over codes from other chapters. Additional codes from other chapters may be used in addition to chapter 15 codes to further specify conditions.
Outcome of delivery codes (Z37.0–Z37.9) are intended for use as an additional code to identify the outcome of delivery on the mother’s records. These codes are not to be used on subsequent records or on the newborn record.
The episode of care (delivered, antepartum, postpartum) is no longer a secondary axis of classification for obstetric codes. Instead, the majority of codes have a final character identifying the trimester of pregnancy in which the condition occurred.
