medical and surgical section codesThe 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 second character indicates the general body system (e.g., gastrointestinal).
The main differences between ICD-10 PCS and ICD-10-CM include the following: ICD-10-PCS is used only for inpatient, hospital settings in the U.S., while ICD-10-CM is used in clinical and outpatient settings in the U.S.

The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
Four design principles: 1) There is no diagnosis included in the ICD-10-PCS procedure code description. 2) A second principle was to limit the "not otherwise specified" (NOS) codes available in ICD-10-PCS. 3) NEC values in the PCS Tables are identified as the "other" specified typed.
The HCPCS codebook is used for outpatient billing as well as for the physicians. These are category two codes and the CPT codes are considered category one. Thus most coders will use these for two main purposes. First, if there is not a CPT code for a procedure a coder can use an HCPCS code for that procedure.
