History of ICD-10-PCS Code Structure Conventions General Guidelines
3
History of ICD-10 PCS
CMS is the responsible agency for maintaining the inpatient procedure code set
Contracted with 3M in 1993 to develop the clinical modification for ICD-10, replacing volume 3 of ICD-9-CM
Initially completed in 1998 and updated annually ICD-10-PCS for 2010 has 71,957 separate procedure
codes
4
History of ICD-10 PCS
ICD-10-PCS incorporated the following major attributes: Completeness – all substantially different procedures
have a unique code Unique definitions – codes are constructed with
individual “values” instead of lists of fixed codes Expandability – the structure of the system allows
incorporation of new procedures as unique codes
5
History of ICD-10 PCS
Standardized terminology– Includes definitions of the terminology used. While the
meaning of specific words can vary in common usage, ICD-10-PCS defines a single meaning for each term used in the system
Multi-axial – The system has a multi-axial structure– Each character has the same meaning within a
section and across sections to the extent possible
6
History of ICD-10 PCS
Structural Integrity – easily expandable without disrupting structural integrity using variable “value” combinations
Diagnostic information is not included in procedure description
Restricted use of NOS – must have a minimal level of specificity for each component
Limited use of NEC – only when necessary Level of specificity – unique codes are available for
variations of procedures
7
Code Structure
Codes are comprised of seven components– Each component is called a “character” all codes are
seven characters long Individual units for each character are represented by a
letter or number – Each unit is called a “value”
34 possible values for each character– Digits 0- 9 and letters A-H, J-N, P-Z– No use of letters I and O to avoid confusion with the
numbers 1 and 0
8

Destruction: Physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent– Fulguration of rectal polyp
Detachment: Cutting off all or a portion of the upper or lower extremities– Below knee amputation
Dilation: Expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part– Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty
14
Definitions of Root Operations – Third Character
Division: Cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, in order to separate or transect a body part– Osteotomy
Drainage: Taking or letting out fluids and/or gases from a body part– Incision and drainage
Excision: Cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part– Liver biopsy
15
Definitions of Root Operations – Third Character
Extirpation: Taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part– Thrombectomy
Extraction: Pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force– Dilation and curettage

Transplantation: Putting in or on all or a portion of a living body part taken from another individual or animal to physically take the place and/or function of all or a portion of a similar body part– Kidney transplant
22
Definitions of Root Operations – Third Character
The root operation is coded according to the objective of the procedure actually performed– Discontinued or modified procedures are coded to
procedure actually performed Composite terms (e.g., colonoscopy, sigmoidectomy) are
not root operations – coded as inspection Combination procedures are coded separately. Each
procedure with a distinct objective during an operative episode is coded separately
The complete or partial redo of a procedure is coded to the root operation performed rather than revision
23
Body Part – Fourth Character
The specific part of the body system where the procedure was performed
Tubular body parts are defined as those hollow body parts that provide a route of passage for solids, liquids, or gases– e.g., CV system, GI tract, respiratory tract
If a procedure is performed on a portion of a body part that does not have a separate body part value, code the body part value corresponding to the whole body part– A procedure performed on the alveolar process of the
mandible is coded to the mandible body part
24
Approach – Fifth Character
Seven different approach values– Open: cutting through the skin or mucous membrane
and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure
– Percutaneous: entry by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure
25
Approach – Fifth Character
– Percutaneous Endoscopic: entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach and visualize the site of the procedure
– Via Natural or Artificial Opening: entry of instrumentation through a natural or artificial external opening to reach the site of the procedure
– Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic: entry of instrumentation through a natural or artificial external opening to reach and visualize the site of the procedure
26
Approach – Fifth Character
– Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic with Percutaneous Endoscopic Assistance: entry of instrumentation through a natural or artificial external opening to reach and visualize the site of the procedure, and entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to aid in the performance of the procedure
– External: procedures performed directly on the skin or mucous membrane and procedures performed indirectly by the application of external force through the skin or mucous membrane
27
Approach – Fifth Character
The approach comprises three components: the access location, method, and type of instrumentation
Access location: two general types of access locations– Skin or mucous membranes
All open and percutaneous values– External orifices
Either Natural or artificial openings
28
Approach – Fifth Character
Method: Specifies how the external access location is entered for procedures performed on an internal body part
Type of Instrumentation: When specialized equipment is used to perform the procedure
Appendix C of ICD-10-PCS compare the components of each approach
29
Device – Sixth Character
Only used to specify devices that remain after the completed procedure– Biological or synthetic material that takes the place of
all or portion of a body part (skin graft, joint prosthesis)
– Biological or synthetic material that assists or prevents a physiological function (IUD)
– Therapeutic material that is not absorbed by, eliminated by, or incorporated into a body part (radioactive implant)
– Mechanical or electronic appliances used to assist, monitor, take the place of, or prevent a physiological function (pacemaker, orthopedic pins)
30
Qualifier – Seventh Character
