ICD-10-PCS Code For Mandible: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BN26 includes procedures performed to capture and computer-reformat multiplanar images of the mandible in the skull and facial bones. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when computerized tomography imaging with digital multiplanar reconstruction of the mandible is performed to evaluate fractures, infection, tumors, or preoperative planning. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BN26 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy and appropriate case mix and payment.

Mandible Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes computerized tomography imaging of the mandible, targeting the skull and facial bones. These procedures involve computer reformatting of multiplanar images developed from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation to evaluate mandibular anatomy and pathology. Accurate coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.
