ICD-10-PCS Code For Sternoclavicular Joints: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BP02 includes procedures performed to capture planar radiographic images of the sternoclavicular joints. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when plain radiography of the bilateral sternoclavicular joints is performed to evaluate injury, degenerative change, or other pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BP02 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Sternoclavicular Joints Plain Radiography Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes plain radiography imaging of the sternoclavicular joints and targets the non-axial upper bones body system. Procedures in this group involve capturing planar images using external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plates to visualize the bilateral sternoclavicular joints. Accurate coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.
