ICD-10-PCS Code For Lymphatics, Trunk: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group C71M includes procedures performed to introduce radioactive materials for planar nuclear medicine imaging of lymphatic structures in the trunk. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when single-plane imaging of lymphatic function or pathology in the trunk is performed using radiopharmaceutical administration. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS C71M group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the diagnostic imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Lymphatics, Trunk Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes planar nuclear medicine imaging of the lymphatics in the trunk, involving introduction of radioactive materials and capture of emitted radiation to produce single-plane images. These procedures target the lymphatic and hematologic system and are used to evaluate lymphatic drainage, obstructions, or pathology within the trunk. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the imaging performed and supports appropriate reimbursement for nuclear medicine services.
