The perfect tool to guide the coder through the code “building” process that includes essential definitions and conversion tables. ICD-10-PCS is an entirely different classification system based on the essential components of a procedure. Under the new system, codes are “built” from a number of variables, including body system, root operation, body part, approach, and more. And in some cases, multiple codes may be needed to describe each of the specific components of a procedure or service. The impending move to the ICD-10 coding system includes the use of a very complex procedural coding system (PCS) by hospitals for claims submitted to Medicare and other payers—the ICD-10-PCS Quick Reference Cards are coding assistance at your finger tips. .
