Case Study #1
Preoperative Diagnosis: A 37 week intrauterine pregnancy with a previous C-section. Postoperative Diagnosis: A 37 week intrauterine pregnancy with a previous C-section. Procedure: Repeat Cesarean section
Operative Report:
The patient was brought in to the operating room and under spinal anesthesia was prepped and draped in the usual manner for a gynecologic abdominal operation. Through the old suprapubic incision from the previous C section, an incision was made into the abdominal cavity without much difficulty.
A midline low transverse incision was made at the lower uterine segment with a knife and carried down the uterine cavity without any difficulty. The incision was then extended to the level of the round ligament on both sides. A male infant in vertex position was delivered with a vacuum and handed over to the nursery staff in attendance. Birth weight was 6 pounds 5 ounces. Apgar was 9 and 9. Placenta was manually delivered.
The uterine cavity was inspected and found to be normal, irrigated, and then closed by suture. Hemostasis was verified and found to be adequate. The abdominal cavity was irrigated and closed in layers. The pyramidal muscle was closed with suture, the fascia was closed with suture in two halves, and the skin was closed with staples. The patient tolerated the procedure well.
What is the appropriate ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure? 10D00Z1
Rationale:
Section (1st Character): Obstetrics (1)
Body System (2nd Character): Pregnancy (0) Root Operation (3rd Character): Extraction (D)
Body Part (4th Character): Products of Conception (0) Approach (5th Character):Open (0)
Device (6th Character): No Device (Z) Qualifier (7th Character): Low (1) Case Study #2
Preoperative Diagnosis: Incomplete spontaneous abortion Postoperative Diagnosis: Incomplete spontaneous abortion Procedure: Dilation and Curettage
Anesthesia: IV sedation Operative Report:
The patient was taken to the operating room and placed in the lithotomy position. She was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A weighted speculum was placed in the vagina. The cervix was adequately visualized.
The cervix was grasped in the anterior lip with a sponge forceps. A considerable amount of placental tissue was present in the vagina and cervix. This was removed without difficulty. A sharp curette was used to obtain a minimal amount of curettings from the endometrial cavity.
The patient tolerated the procedure well.

Qualifier (7th Character): No Qualifier (Z)
Case Study #3:
Chief Complaint in the ER: Alteration of Mental Status
The Inpatient physician ordered an Electroencephalogram to be conducted immediately.
Description: An 18-channel digital EEG recording was done on the 79 year old male with a chief complaint of alteration of mental status. The patient is also on insulin for diabetes.
There is a diffuse slowing and disorganization in the background consisting of medium voltage theta rhythm at 4-6 Hz seen from all head areas. There was faster activity at beta range from the anterior. Eye movements and muscle artifacts were noted. Hyperventilation and Photic stimulation were not completed.
Findings: There is an indication of moderate encephalopathy. Clinical correlation is required to rule out a structural lesion.
What is the appropriate ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure? 4A00X4Z
Rationale:
