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.
ICD-10-PCS Sections. The 1st character of the code identifies the section. Sections relate to the type of procedure. For example, a chest x-ray is an imaging procedure and a breast biopsy is a medical and surgical procedure.
ICD-10-PCS codes are composed of seven alphanumeric characters and with no decimals like ICD-10-CM codes. Each character in an ICD-10-PCS code represents an axis of classification that specifies information about the procedure performed. The first character defines the major "section".

If the doctor performs a YAG in the postop period, first we bill it to Medicare with the -79 modifier, she says. Then we get the denial back. And then we send it in again with a medical necessity note from the doctor.

DEFINITION. Posterior subcapsular polar senile cataract is a disease characterized by: Peroxidation of lens proteins leading to decreased transparency. Compression of lens fibers from continued lens growth. Accumulation of urochrome pigments from amino acid breakdown leading to brunescence.
ICD-10 code E28. 2 for Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO), often referred to as “secondary cataract,” is the most common postoperative complication of cataract extraction. In PCO, the posterior capsule undergoes secondary opacification due to the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of lens epithelial cells (LECs).
Posterior capsulotomy is a surgical procedure which is sometimes necessary after cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is performed when the lens of the eye, which focuses light rays, becomes cloudy. When it interferes with vision, it is called a cataract and the treatment is to remove the cloudy lens.
Diagnosis of a Posterior Capsular Opacification After a thorough medical examination of the eyes, the following tests may be conducted to confirm diagnosis: Dilated eye examination. Slit-lamp examination. Visual acuity assessment.
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.
The medical and surgical section codes represent the vast majority of procedures reported in an inpatient setting. The value of the first character of the Medical and Surgical procedure codes is "0". The second character indicates the general body system (e.g., central nervous system, muscles, skin and breast, tendons, gastrointestinal, etc).
Obstetrics procedure codes have a first character value of "1". The second character value for body system is Pregnancy.
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 second character value for body system is either anatomical regions or anatomical orifices.
Administration section codes represent procedures for putting in or on a therapeutic, prophylactic, protective, diagnostic, nutritional or physiological substance. Administration procedure codes have a first character value of "3".
Measurement and monitoring section codes represent procedures for determining the level of a physiological or physical function. Measurement and monitoring procedure codes have a first character value of "4". The second character value for body system is either physiological systems or physiological devices.
In extracorporeal assistance and performance procedures, equipment outside the body is used to assist or perform a physiological function. Extracorporeal assistance and performance procedure codes have a first character value of "5". The second character value for body system is physiological systems.
ICD-10 refers to the tenth edition of the International Classification of Diseases, which is a medical coding system chiefly designed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to catalog health conditions by categories of similar diseases under which more specific conditions are listed, thus mapping nuanced diseases to broader morbidities.
ICD-10-PCS is composed of 17 sections, represented by the numbers 0–9 and the letters B–D, F–H and X. The broad procedure categories contained in these sections range from surgical procedures to substance abuse treatment and new technology.
ICD-10-CM codes consist of three to seven characters. Every code begins with an alpha character, which is indicative of the chapter to which the code is classified. The second and third characters are numbers. The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh characters can be numbers or letters.
The first 3 characters refer to the code category. As such, they represent common traits, a disease or group of related diseases and conditions.
ICD-10 external cause codes provide details explaining the events surrounding an injury, which are especially useful in collecting statistics for policy decisions concerning public health . These ICD-10 codes also play an important role in workers’ compensation claims.
This four-part index encompasses the Index of Diseases and Injury, the Index of External Causes of Injury, the Table of Neoplasms, and the Table of Drugs and Chemicals, all of which are designed to streamline the process of locating the necessary diagnosis codes and ICD-10 coding instructions.
Sections II – IV Conventions outline rules and principles for the selection of primary diagnoses, reporting additional diagnoses, and diagnostic coding and report ing of outpatient services.
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 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). The first through fifth characters are always assigned a specific value, ...
6 - Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies. In extracorporeal therapy, equipment outside the body is used for a therapeutic purpose that does not involve the assistance or performance of a physiological function. Extracorporeal therapy procedure codes have a first character value of “6”.
3 - Administration. Administration section codes represent procedures for putting in or on a therapeutic, prophylactic, protective, diagnostic, nutritional or physiological substance. Administration procedure codes have a first character value of “3”.
Extracorporeal assistance and performance procedure codes have a first character value of “5”. The second character value for body system is physiological systems.
Measurement and monitoring procedure codes have a first character value of “4”. The second character value for body system is either physiological systems or physiological devices.
