Summary:

JustCoding's ICD-10-PCS Medical and Surgical Root Operations Training HandbookMichelle A. Leppert, CPCExcision or Resection? Occlusion or Restriction? Note the nuances in root operation definitionsICD-10-PCS coding is different than anything inpatients coders have done in the past. The root operation character determines which table coders will use to build an ICD-10-PCS code.However, physicians do not need to use root operation terms in their documentation. This means coders must determine the correct root operation by reading the operative report, determining the intent of the procedure, and selecting the root operation that represents that intent.This book divides the 31 root operations in the Medical and Surgical section into nine groups of related root operations to make it easier for coders to learn the nuances in the definitions.For CDI:CDI specialists don't necessarily need to know how to code in ICD-10-PCS, but they do need to understand the concept of the root operation. CDI specialists and coders will be querying for information about surgical procedures that they currently don't need. Knowing the nuances of the root operations will allow CDI specialists to craft more concise queries.Take a look at the Table of Contents:IntroductionChapter 1: Root operations that take out some/all of a body partExcisionResectionDetachmentDestructionExtractionChapter 2: Root operations that take out solids/fluids/gasses from a body partDrainageExtirpationFragmentationChapter 3: Root operations involving cutting or separation onlyDivisionReleaseChapter 4: Root operations that put in/put back or move some/all of a body part\TransplantationReattachmentTransferRepositionChapter 5: Root operations that alter the diameter/route of a tubular body partRestrictionOcclusionDilationBypassChapter 6: Root operations that always involve a deviceInsertionReplacementSupplementChangeRemovalRevisionChapter 7: Root operations involving examination onlyInspectionMapChapter 8: Root operations that include other repairsControlRepairChapter 9: Root operations that include other objectivesFusionAlterationCreationThis book provides:Defines each of the 31 root operations in the Medical and Surgical sectionProvides the definitions and coding examples in an easy-to-read and reference formatBreaks out one of the characters that will be challenging and drilling down a little without overburdening the readerAfter reading this book, coders will be able to:Explain the differences between similar ICD-10-PCS root operationsDetermine the appropriate root operation for procedures in the Medical and Surgical section of ICD-10-PCSApply root operations definition to physician documentation of procedures
