A bone marrow biopsy procedure was performed. During this procedure an 11-gauge Jamshidi biopsy needle was used to obtain a bone marrow biopsy sample from the right posterior iliac crest. In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index entry main term Biopsy, subterms, bone, marrow identifies code 41.31, Biopsy of bone marrow.
In ICD-10-PCS the root operation for this procedure is Extraction since the main objective is to pull out a portion of the bone marrow. Due to the larger caliber of the bone marrow biopsy needle, force is required.
The root operation-the third character of an ICD-10-PCS code-describes the objective or main focus of the procedure. The Medical and Surgical section of ICD-10-PCS contains 31 root operations. Each of these root operations has a very well-defined meaning.
Extraction of Iliac Bone Marrow, Percutaneous Approach, Diagnostic. ICD-10-PCS 07DR3ZX is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
Biopsy of bone marrow is coded to the root operation Extraction with the qualifier Diagnostic. Lymph node sampling for biopsy is coded to the root operation Excision with the qualifier Diagnostic. Biopsy followed by more definitive treatment B3.

The provider cleans the skin and injects numbing medicine into the area and surface of the bone. A biopsy needle is inserted into the bone. The center of the needle is removed and the hollowed needle is moved deeper into the bone. This captures a tiny sample, or core, of bone marrow within the needle.
A stem cell transplant uses stem cells from your bloodstream, or a donor's bloodstream. This is also called a peripheral blood stem cell transplant. A bone marrow transplant uses stem cells from your bone marrow, or a donor's bone marrow.
In a bone marrow aspiration, a health care provider uses a thin needle to remove a small amount of liquid bone marrow, usually from a spot in the back of your hipbone (pelvis). A bone marrow biopsy is often done at the same time. This second procedure removes a small piece of bone tissue and the enclosed marrow.
Bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy procedures are often performed together, often at the same surgical site. If aspiration is performed alone, the appropriate code to report is CPT code 38220. When a bone marrow biopsy is performed alone, the appropriate code to report is CPT code 38221.
Z52. 011 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z52.
ICD-10-CM Code for Stem cells transplant status Z94. 84.
In an autologous transplant, your own blood-forming stem cells are collected. You are then treated with high doses of chemotherapy. The high-dose treatment kills the cancer cells, but it also gets rid of the blood-producing cells that are left in your bone marrow.
Biopsies are coded to the root operations excision, extraction, or drainage (with the qualifier diagnostic). When only fluid is removed during a needle aspiration biopsy, the root operation would be “drainage”.
When looking up 'Biopsy' in the ICD-10-PCS Alphabetic Index, it directs you to root operations drainage and excision with a diagnostic 6th character qualifier. Biopsy procedures are coded using the root operations Excision, Extraction, or Drainage and the qualifier Diagnostic.
ICD-10-PCS Root Operations Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gasses from a body part. Root operations involving cutting or separation only. Root operations that put in/put back or move some/all of a body part. Root operations that alter the diameter/route of a tubular body part.
third characterCharacter Meanings The third character indicates the root operation, or specific objective, of the procedure (e.g., excision). The fourth character indicates the specific body part on which the procedure was performed (e.g., duodenum).
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.
Editor's note: This is the second in a series of 10 articles discussing the 31 root operations of ICD-10-PCS.
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.
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.
Procedures performed following a delivery or abortion for curettage of the endometrium or evacuation of retained products of conception are all coded in the Obstetrics section, to the root operation Extraction, and the body part Products of Conception, Retained.
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.
