ICD-10-PCS Code For Temporomandibular Joints: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BN09 includes procedures performed to capture planar radiographic images of the temporomandibular joints, bilateral. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when plain radiography of the skull and facial bones is performed to evaluate bilateral temporomandibular joint anatomy or pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BN09 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Temporomandibular Joints Plain Radiography Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes plain radiography imaging of the temporomandibular joints performed on the skull and facial bones body system. Procedures involve planar display of images developed from external ionizing radiation captured on photographic or photoconductive plates to visualize bilateral temporomandibular joint structures. Accurate coding of these imaging procedures matters for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.
