ICD-10-PCS Code For Salivary Glands: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B93D includes procedures performed to image soft tissues in the salivary glands using magnetic resonance imaging. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when magnetic resonance imaging of the salivary glands is performed to evaluate pathology, guide diagnosis, or monitor response to treatment. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B93D group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Salivary Glands Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes magnetic resonance imaging studies of the salivary glands performed in the inpatient setting. These procedures target the ear, nose, mouth and throat body system and involve capture of radiofrequency signals within a magnetic field to generate multiplanar images. Accurate coding ensures the imaging performed is reflected in the inpatient record and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.
