ICD-10-PCS Code For Spleen: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group C712 includes procedures performed to introduce radioactive materials and perform planar nuclear medicine imaging of the spleen. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a single-plane nuclear medicine study is performed to evaluate splenic structure or function using radioactive tracers. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS C712 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Spleen Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve introduction of radioactive materials and planar nuclear medicine imaging of the spleen within the lymphatic and hematologic system. These procedures capture radioactive emissions to produce single-plane images used for diagnostic evaluation of splenic structure and function. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures ensures correct inpatient documentation and supports appropriate case mix and payment.
