ICD-10-PCS Code For Submandibular Glands: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B929 includes procedures performed to image structures in the submandibular glands using computerized tomography. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when multiplanar, reformatted CT imaging of the submandibular glands is performed for diagnostic evaluation. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B929 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the diagnostic imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.
