A kidney transplant may not fully restore kidney function; therefore, patients who have undergone a kidney transplant may still have some form of Chronic Kidney Disease. Code Z94. 0, Kidney replaced by transplant, may be assigned with the appropriate CKD code, based on the patient's post-transplant stage.
The first objective is to determine what is the procedure being performed. What’s being done when we’re measuring or monitoring.
Now, let’s look at some other examples. We walked through this one.
Here’s one that’s very common again. The objective: we’re monitoring. What are we doing? Respiratory is the body system. For what? The flow. So, monitoring, respiratory and flow gives us the codes 4A19. So, we’d look in the Index, monitoring, then go into respiratory and flow, that gives us to the section 4A19.
I think we have the last one that is also a very common PCS code – “External measurement of cardiac pacemaker.” What’s the objective here? We’re not monitoring anymore, we’re measuring. So, you’re going to go to the index to measurement. What are we measuring? The cardiac is the body system – cardiac.
