ICD-10-PCS Code For Calcaneus, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BQ3J includes procedures performed to image bone and adjacent structures in the right calcaneus using magnetic resonance imaging. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when magnetic resonance imaging of the right calcaneus is performed to evaluate fracture, infection, tumor, or soft-tissue injury. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BQ3J group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Calcaneus, Right Magnetic Resonance Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes magnetic resonance imaging studies of the right calcaneus, a bone within the non-axial lower bones body system. These procedures capture multiplanar images developed from radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in the calcaneus while in a magnetic field to evaluate bone and surrounding soft tissues. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures is important for inpatient documentation and reimbursement because it precisely identifies the imaging modality and targeted anatomic site.
