ICD-10-PCS Code For Salivary Glands: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group D926 includes procedures performed to destroy or ablate tissue in the salivary glands via stereotactic radiosurgery in the ear, nose, mouth and throat body system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when focused radiotherapeutic stereotactic procedures are delivered to salivary gland targets for treatment of tumors or other lesions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS D926 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.
