About the CF Body System
These codes cover imaging of the gallbladder, liver, liver and spleen, the hepatobiliary system, or the hepatobiliary system and pancreas using radioactive materials.
The materials give off emissions that are captured to make images. Planar imaging displays images in a single plane; tomographic imaging displays them in three dimensions. The fourth character identifies the body part or combined area imaged.
Questions About This Page
How many codes are in the CF body system?
The CF body system contains 18 ICD-10-PCS codes in FY 2027, organized into 2 root operations. 16 of them are billable on inpatient claims.
What is a root operation?
The root operation is the third character of every ICD-10-PCS code and names the objective of the procedure. Drainage takes fluid out, Excision cuts out a portion of a body part, and Resection removes all of one. Picking the right root operation is the central skill of PCS coding, so each one above carries its official CMS definition.
