ICD-10-PCS Code For Nasopharynx Oropharynx: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B93F includes procedures performed to image soft-tissue structures in the nasopharynx and oropharynx using magnetic resonance imaging. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a magnetic resonance imaging study of the nasopharynx or oropharynx is performed to evaluate suspected or known pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B93F group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Nasopharynx/Oropharynx Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes magnetic resonance imaging studies of the nasopharynx and oropharynx within the ear, nose, mouth, and throat body system. These procedures acquire multiplanar images using radiofrequency signals in a magnetic field to evaluate soft-tissue structures and pathology. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix designation and reimbursement.
