ICD-10-PCS Code For Kidneys Bilateral: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BT23 includes procedures performed to capture and digitally reformat multiplanar images of the kidneys, bilateral using computerized tomography. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when computed tomography imaging of both kidneys is performed to evaluate renal anatomy or pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BT23 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.
