2025 Coders’ Desk Reference for ICD-10-PCS Procedures (eBook)
Optum | 2025 |
The Coders’ Desk Reference for ICD-10-PCS Procedures addresses the challenge of translating common procedural nomenclature used by providers to the corresponding ICD-10-PCS coding terminology. Correct procedure coding is dependent on the coder’s ability to translate the terminology in provider documentation to the appropriate procedural terminology of ICD-10-PCS.
This resource is organized by common procedural nomenclature used in the hospital setting and then linked to the related root operation table(s). The procedure is described in layman’s terms, translated to ICD-10-PCS root operation terminology, and the corresponding root operation table(s) is identified.
