ICD-10-PCS 10J Obstetrics: Pregnancy Inspection
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (Character J) in the Obstetrics section refers to visually and/or manually examining the Products of Conception during pregnancy to assess their condition without altering the tissue. This operation is focused on diagnostic evaluation within obstetrical care.
Examples of obstetrics inspection codes include various approaches such as an Open Approach (code 10J00ZZ), minimally invasive methods like Percutaneous (code 10J03ZZ) and Percutaneous Endoscopic Approaches (code 10J04ZZ), and less invasive routes via Natural or Artificial Openings (code 10J07ZZ), including endoscopic techniques (code 10J08ZZ). The codes also address inspection of Retained and Ectopic products of conception through similar approaches, reflecting the detailed specificity required for accurate documentation in pregnancy-related procedures. Understanding and using these codes correctly facilitates precise clinical communication and billing for obstetrical inspections.
