ICD-10-PCS Code For Salivary Glands, Bilateral: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group C91B includes procedures performed to image radioactive emissions from salivary glands in the ear, nose, mouth and throat. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when planar nuclear medicine imaging with introduction of radioactive materials is performed to evaluate salivary gland structure or function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS C91B group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Salivary Glands, Bilateral Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes planar nuclear medicine imaging studies of the bilateral salivary glands and targets the ear, nose, mouth, and throat body system. Procedures involve introduction of radioactive materials into the body to capture single-plane images from emitted radiation and assess salivary gland function or pathology. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the imaging performed and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.
