ICD-10-PCS Case Scenario

After reviewing the attached case, coders should report the most applicable ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes and all relevant ICD-10-PCS procedure codes. The attached answer key includes the correct codes to report for the case as well as any coding rationale.

All codes and guidance are up-to-date as of January 1, 2018. The ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS code sets as well as any guidance are subject to changes. These cases therefore should not be used as a guide for coding any real claims.

This case is an example of the cases found in JustCoding’s Clinical Scenario Workbook: 2018 ICD-10-PCS Edition. The workbook includes 52 case scenarios that let coders practice real-world coding without risking actual revenue. Coders can practice on their own or as a group, with enough cases for coding teams to complete one each week together for a full year.
