Skull Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This code group covers computerized tomography imaging procedures of the skull and facial bones that produce computer reformatted multiplanar digital displays from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation. The procedures target the skull and facial bones within the imaging section and generate cross-sectional and reformatted views for diagnostic evaluation. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific imaging modality and body part, which supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.
