If the D&C had been performed after either a delivery or an abortion, then the code is 69.02, and if performed to terminate a pregnancy, the code is 69.01. Extraction is the correct ICD-10-PCS root operation because during the curettage-defined as scraping-a uterine curette is inserted and the uterine wall scraped.
Coding in ICD-10-PCS Extraction is the correct ICD-10-PCS root operation because during the curettage-defined as scraping-a uterine curette is inserted and the uterine wall scraped. The Alphabetic Index entry main term Extraction, subterm Endometrium refers the coding professional to Table 0UD. The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 0UDB7ZZ.
The correct procedure code is 0FF98ZZ, endoscopic fragmentation of common bile duct stone. In ICD-10-PCS, documentation is a decisive part of accurate procedure code assignment. The coding professional must be able to identify all procedural elements to correctly assign all seven characters of the ICD-10-PCS code.
ICD-10-PCS 1. ICD-10-PCS codes: 00HU0MZ, 0JH70BZ, BR17ZZZ Rationale: One code is assigned for the neurostimulator lead and another for the stimulator generator. The root operation Insertion is coded for both procedures and they both use the open approach. The device value for the lead is M. The ICD-10-PCS 1.
fragmentationExamples of fragmentation include extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) and transurethral lithotripsy. Fragmentation is coded for procedures to break up, but not remove, solid material such as a calculus or foreign body. This root operation includes both direct and extracorporeal fragmentation procedures.

ICD-10-PCS has a seven character alphanumeric code structure. Each character contains up to 34 possible values. Each value represents a specific option for the general character definition (e.g., stomach is one of the values for the body part character).
percutaneousThe term “burr hole” is almost always indicative of a percutaneous procedure. However, in some cases, the surgeon will make multiple burr holes and then remove the skull bone that is between the burr holes (like in a triangle) to actually get down to the operative site of the brain.
Ureteroscopy is a procedure to address kidney stones, and involves the passage of a small telescope, called a ureteroscope, through the urethra and bladder and up the ureter to the point where the stone is located.
Code 52356 (cystourethroscopy, with ureteroscopy and/or pyeloscopy; with lithotripsy including insertion of indwelling ureteral stent [eg, Gibbons or double-J type]) includes the performance of lithotripsy and the insertion of the indwelling stent on the same side.

The development of ICD-10-PCS had as its goal the incorporation of four major attributes:Completeness. There should be a unique code for all substantially different procedures. ... Expandability. ... Multiaxial. ... Standardized Terminology.
17 sectionsThere are 17 sections to ICD-10-PCS. The sections relate to the type of procedure being performed. They are the following: Medical and surgical.
In ICD-10-PCS the seventh character defines the qualifier – i.e., an additional attribute of the procedure, if applicable.
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.
The procedure code 10D00Z1 is in the obstetrics section and is part of the pregnancy body system, classified under the extraction operation. The applicable bodypart is products of conception.
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.
10D00Z1 is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of extraction of products of conception, low, open approach. The code is valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Extraction. Involves: Pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force. Involves: Pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force. 4.

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:
Editor’s note: This is the third in a series of 10 articles discussing the 31 root operations of ICD-10-PCS.
The correct code for a diagnostic lumbar puncture in ICD-10-PCS is 009U3ZX.
Staghorn calculus of the left renal pelvis removed via a percutaneous nephrostomy tube
Consider the example of a percutaneous thrombectomy of the left radial artery, which is coded to 03CC3ZZ:
The definition for the root operation Extirpation provided in the 2013 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is “Taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.” The solid matter contained in the definition may be an abnormal byproduct of a biological function or a foreign body. It may be imbedded in a body part, or in the lumen of a tubular body part. The solid matter may or may not have been previously broken into pieces.
There is a body part for “kidney pelvis” which is further defined by left and right. The correct code for this procedure is 0TC43ZZ, percutaneous removal of a staghorn calculus from the left renal pelvis.
It is important to note that fragmentation cannot be coded with extirpation. For additional information, review the procedure coding for an ESWL of the bilateral ureters. This procedure requires two codes, 0TF7XZZ and 0TF6XZZ, as there is not a bilateral body part value for the ureter.
The procedure code 0TC74ZZ is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the urinary system body system, classified under the extirpation operation. The applicable bodypart is ureter, left.

Editor's note: This is the second in a series of 10 articles discussing the 31 root operations of ICD-10-PCS.
The definition for the root operation Extraction provided in the ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is "Pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force." Extraction is coded when the method employed to take out the body part is pulling or stripping, and any minor cutting-such as that used in vein stripping procedures-is included in the Extraction.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index entry main term Ablation, subterm endometrium identifies code 68.23, Endometrial ablation. Code 68.23 would be assigned whether or not a scope was utilized during the procedure.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index entry main term Amputation, subterm midtarsal identifies code 84.12, Amputation through foot. This code is assigned for amputations of forefoot, amputation through middle of foot, midtarsal amputation, and transmetatarsal amputation of either the right or left foot.
The Alphabetic Index entry main term Extraction, subterm Bone Marrow refers the coding professional to Table 07D. The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 07DR3ZX. The fourth character (R) identifies the body part as bone marrow, iliac. Unlike ICD-9-CM, the code specifies the specific location of the bone marrow biopsy.
The ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 0Y6N0ZF. The fourth character (N) identifies the body part as the left foot and the seventh character (F) identifies the level of detachment as partial fifth ray. The definition for partial fifth ray is amputation anywhere along the shaft or head of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot. The fifth character identifies the technique to reach the operative site or approach. The procedural approach was open (0) because an incision was made to reach the operative site.
The fifth character of the code identifies the technique used to reach the operative site. The approach for the bone marrow biopsy was percutaneous (3). In ICD-10-PCS the fifth character always identifies the specific approach utilized to reach the operative site.
