Pleura Revision Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes revisions performed on the pleura, the serous membrane of the respiratory system that surrounds the lungs. Procedures involve correcting a malfunctioning device or repositioning a displaced device, or revising pleural tissue to the extent possible. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these revisions is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the clinical work performed on the respiratory system and supports appropriate case mix and payment.
