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 B939 includes procedures performed to image structures in the submandibular glands. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when magnetic resonance imaging is performed to evaluate submandibular gland anatomy or pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B939 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Submandibular Glands Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group covers magnetic resonance imaging of the submandibular glands and targets the ear, nose, mouth, and throat body system. Procedures involve computer-reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in the glands within a magnetic field to evaluate gland structure and pathology. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient documentation reflects the imaging performed and supports correct case mix assignment and reimbursement.
