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 BP22 includes procedures performed to capture and computer-reformat multiplanar images of the sternoclavicular joints, bilateral. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when computed tomography imaging is performed to evaluate bilateral sternoclavicular joint disease, trauma, or postoperative assessment. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BP22 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging modality and anatomical focus used during the hospital stay.

Sternoclavicular Joints Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This code group comprises computerized tomography imaging procedures of the sternoclavicular joints, targeting the non-axial upper bones body system. These procedures use computer-reformatted multiplanar images developed from multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation to evaluate bilateral sternoclavicular joint anatomy and pathology. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures matters for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the exact imaging modality and anatomical focus used in patient care.
