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 BN29 includes procedures performed to image temporomandibular joint structures in the skull and facial bones using computerized tomography. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when multiplanar, computer reformatted images of the bilateral temporomandibular joints are obtained to evaluate anatomy or pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BN29 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Temporomandibular Joints Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This code group covers computerized tomography imaging of the temporomandibular joints within the skull and facial bones body system. Procedures in this group involve computer reformatted multiplanar images developed from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation to evaluate bilateral temporomandibular joint anatomy and pathology. Accurate coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the specific imaging study performed and supports proper case mix and payment.
