2019 Coders' Desk Reference for Procedures (ICD-10-PCS) - Optum360

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. Because provider documentation often does not reflect the precise terminology found in ICD-10-PCS,correct procedure coding is dependent on the ability of the coder to translate common procedural terminology 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.
