ICD-10-PCS Code For Submandibular Glands, Bilateral: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B909 includes procedures performed to image anatomical structures in the submandibular glands, bilateral using plain radiography. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when radiographic planar imaging of the bilateral submandibular glands is performed to evaluate pathology or guide diagnosis. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B909 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging modality and body part evaluated, supporting clinical documentation accuracy.

Submandibular Glands Plain Radiography Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes plain radiography of the submandibular glands, targeting the ear, nose, mouth, and throat body system. These procedures involve planar display imaging developed from capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plates to visualize bilateral submandibular gland anatomy. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the specific imaging modality and body part evaluated, supporting proper case mix assignment and payment.
