ICD-10-PCS Code For Knee, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BQ37 includes procedures performed to image the knee using magnetic resonance imaging in the right lower extremity. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a diagnostic or follow-up magnetic resonance examination of the right knee is performed to evaluate bone, cartilage, ligaments, or other soft tissues. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BQ37 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Knee, Right Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group covers magnetic resonance imaging examinations of the right knee, targeting the non-axial lower bones and surrounding soft tissues. Procedures in this group use radiofrequency signals within a magnetic field to produce computer-reformatted multiplanar images. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the diagnostic imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.
