ICD-10-PCS Code For Lacrimal Ducts: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group C819 includes procedures performed to image lacrimal ducts using planar nuclear medicine techniques. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when single-plane nuclear imaging with introduction of radioactive material is performed to evaluate lacrimal duct anatomy or function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS C819 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Lacrimal Ducts Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes planar nuclear medicine imaging studies of the lacrimal ducts, performed to capture and display single-plane images from radioactive emissions. These procedures target the eye body system and involve introduction of radioactive materials to evaluate lacrimal duct anatomy and function. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific imaging modality and anatomical focus used in diagnosis and management.
