The body part and device terms in the index
have gray screen bars placed over them to
help coders more easily differentiate between

2014 ICD-10-PCS Official Guidelines
for Coding and Reporting
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Center
for Health Statistics (NCHS), two departments within the U.S. Federal Government’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) provide the following
guidelines for coding and reporting using the International Classification of
Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Classification System (ICD-10-PCS). These
guidelines should be used as a companion document to the official version of the
ICD-10-PCS as published on the CMS website. The ICD-10-PCS is a procedure
classification published by the United States for classifying procedures performed
in hospital inpatient health care settings.
Nervous body system specifies Cervical Plexus.
A5
As the system is expanded to become increasingly detailed, over time more values
will depend on preceding values for their meaning.
*Example: In the Lower Joints body system, the device value 3 in the root
operation Insertion specifies Infusion Device and the device value 3 in the root
operation Replacement specifies Ceramic Synthetic Substitute.
A6
The purpose of the alphabetic index is to locate the appropriate table that contains
all information necessary to construct a procedure code. The PCS Tables should
always be consulted to find the most appropriate valid code.
These guidelines have been approved by the four organizations that make up the
Cooperating Parties for the ICD-10-PCS: the American Hospital Association
Channel
Feature (AHIMA),
(AHA), the American Health Information Management
Association

These guidelines are a set of rules that have been developed
to accompany
identify each
and complement the official conventions and instructions provided within the
ICD-10-PCS itself. The instructions and conventions of the classification take
precedence over guidelines. These guidelines are based on the coding and
sequencing instructions in the Tables, Index and Definitions of ICD-10-PCS, but
provide additional instruction. Adherence to these guidelines when assigning
ICD-10-PCS procedure codes is required under the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The procedure codes have been adopted under
HIPAA for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. A joint effort between the
healthcare provider and the coder is essential to achieve complete and accurate
documentation, code assignment, and reporting of diagnoses and procedures.
These guidelines have been developed to assist both the healthcare provider and
the coder in identifying those procedures that are to be reported. The importance
of consistent, complete documentation in the medical record cannot be overemphasized. Without such documentation accurate coding cannot be achieved.
A7
It is not required to consult the index first before proceeding to the tables to
complete the code. A valid code may be chosen directly from the tables.
A8
All seven characters must be specified to be a valid code. If the documentation is
incomplete for coding purposes, the physician should be queried for the necessary
information.
A9
Within a PCS table, valid codes include all combinations of choices in characters 4
through 7 contained in the same row of the table. In the example below, 0JHT3VZ
is a valid code, and 0JHW3VZ is not a valid code.

A1
ICD-10-PCS codes are composed of seven characters. Each character is an axis of
classification that specifies information about the procedure performed. Within a
defined code range, a character specifies the same type of information in that axis
of classification.
Example: The fifth axis of classification specifies the approach in sections 0
through 4 and 7 through 9 of the system.
A2
One of 34 possible values can be assigned to each axis of classification in the
seven-character code: they are the numbers 0 through 9 and the alphabet (except I
and O because they are easily confused with the numbers 1 and 0). The number of
unique values used in an axis of classification differs as needed.
Example: Where the fifth axis of classification specifies the approach, seven
different approach values are currently used to specify the approach.
H INSERTION
T
EXAMPLE: Insertion of central venous catheter
INSERTION: Putting in a nonbiological appliance
that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a
physiological function but does not physically take
the place of a body part.

APPENDIX A – ROOT OPERATIONS MED/SURG SECTION
APPENDIX A
ROOT OPERATIONS OF THE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SECTION
APPENDIX A contains the following parts:
PART 1: Groups of Similar Root Operations (Medical and Surgical Section)
PART 2: Alphabetic Listing of Root Operations (Medical and Surgical Section)
PART 1: Groups of Similar Root Operations (Medical and Surgical Section)
The Root Operations of the Medical and Surgical section are divided into logical groups that share similar attributes. Each
root operation chart group includes: root operation name, objective of the procedure, site of the procedure, and an example
of that root operation. These root operation chart groups are:
• Root operations that take out some or all of a body part
• Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gases from a body part
• Root operations involving cutting or separation only
• Root operations that put in/put back or move some/all of a body part
• Root operations that alter the diameter/route of a tubular body part
