Determining the ICD-10-PCS Code

In the next few pages, we’ll review 6 examples that show how to build an ICD-10-PCS code. You can also access these coding examples in the Using the ICD-10-PCS job aid. To access the job aid, use the Reference button at the top of any course page.

We’ll include locating the main term entry in the Index as the first step. As you gain experience finding procedure codes, you can skip this step and select the code directly from the Tables.
