ICD-10-PCS Code For Acromioclavicular Joints: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BP13 includes procedures performed to visualize joints and surrounding structures in the acromioclavicular region using real-time fluoroscopic imaging. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when fluoroscopic imaging of the bilateral acromioclavicular joints is performed for diagnostic evaluation or to guide procedures. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BP13 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Acromioclavicular Joints Fluoroscopy Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve real-time fluoroscopic imaging of the acromioclavicular joints, using external ionizing radiation to display joint anatomy on a fluorescent screen with optional digital or analog storage. These procedures target the non-axial upper bones region of the shoulder girdle and are performed to visualize joint alignment, evaluate pathology, or guide interventions. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these procedures ensures the inpatient record reflects the imaging performed and supports appropriate reimbursement and clinical documentation.
