ICD-10-PCS Code For Cervical Facet Joint(s): Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BR14 includes procedures performed to visualize and image the cervical facet joint(s) using fluoroscopy in the axial skeleton. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when real-time fluoroscopic imaging of the cervical facet joints is performed for diagnostic evaluation or to guide interventions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BR14 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging modality and anatomical target and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Cervical Facet Joint(s) Fluoroscopy Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes fluoroscopic imaging performed on the cervical facet joints, part of the axial skeleton excluding skull and facial bones. Procedures use real-time display of images developed from external ionizing radiation to visualize cervical facet joint anatomy and guide diagnosis or interventions. Accurate coding of these fluoroscopy procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the imaging modality, anatomical target, and clinical intent for case mix and payment.
