ICD-10-PCS Code For Pelvic Arteries: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B42C includes procedures performed to image pelvic arterial structures using computerized tomography. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a patient undergoes computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from multiple external ionizing radiation exposures of the pelvic arteries. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B42C group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Pelvic Arteries Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This code group covers computerized tomography imaging studies of the pelvic arteries using external ionizing radiation and reformatting to show multiplanar images. Procedures target the lower arterial system in the pelvis and involve capture of multiple exposures followed by computer processing to produce cross-sectional and reformatted views. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific imaging operation and anatomical focus performed during the hospital stay.
