ICD-10-PCS Code For Sternoclavicular Joint: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BP20 includes procedures performed to image and evaluate bony structures in the sternoclavicular joint, right using computerized tomography. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when cross-sectional multiplanar CT imaging of the right sternoclavicular joint is performed to assess fracture, dislocation, infection, inflammatory disease, or other pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BP20 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific diagnostic imaging performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Sternoclavicular Joint Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This procedure group covers computerized tomography imaging of the right sternoclavicular joint, targeting the non-axial upper bones of the shoulder girdle. Procedures in this group involve computer-reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation to evaluate bony and periarticular structures. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific diagnostic imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.
