All ICD-10-PCS codes have an alphanumeric structure, with all codes made up of seven characters. All complete ICD-10-PCS codes can be located within the Index. The letters "O" and "I" are not used as ICD-10-PCS values so as not to be confused with the digits "0" and "1."
If you need to look up the ICD code for a particular diagnosis or confirm what an ICD code stands for, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website to use their searchable database of the current ICD-10 codes.

The ICD-10 procedural coding system (ICD-10-PCS) is used by facilities (e.g., hospital) to code procedures. CPT codes are, and will continue to be, used by physicians (and other providers) to report professional services. The two systems are unique and very different.
Another difference is the number of codes: ICD-10-CM has 68,000 codes, while ICD-10-PCS has 87,000 codes.
