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 ability of the
coder 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 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.
