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 BP12 includes procedures performed to image the sternoclavicular joint structures using fluoroscopy in the non-axial upper bones body system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when real-time fluoroscopic imaging of one or both sternoclavicular joints is performed to evaluate or guide management. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BP12 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Sternoclavicular Joints Fluoroscopy Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes real-time fluoroscopic imaging of the bilateral sternoclavicular joints, part of the non-axial upper bones body system. Procedures involve single-plane or bi-plane display of images produced by external ionizing radiation, with images optionally stored by digital or analog means. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these fluoroscopic procedures ensures inpatient documentation reflects the imaging modality and anatomical target, which affects case mix assignment and reimbursement.
