How C020SZZ is built

Every ICD-10-PCS code is seven independent character positions. Each one is a separate decision, and the meaning of a character depends on the positions before it.

  1. CSectionNuclear Medicine — What family of procedure this is
  2. 0Body systemWhich system it acts on
  3. 2Root operationThe objective — the verb of the procedure
  4. 0Body partThe specific site
  5. SApproachHow the site was reached
  6. ZDeviceWhat was left in place, if anything
  7. ZQualifierA further distinction where one applies
