Procedures

DGHS has chosen to go with ICD10-PCS as their standard for procedure coding.

Check here to know more about ICD10-PCS

 

Other standards

CPT (Current Procedural Terminology), developed by AMA, is a very well known and accepted coding system for clinical procedures, where every clinical procedure is assigned a CPT code. Every code has a description and plain language description.

The full CPT list doesnt seem to be freely available, and requires license.  For a short list, refer to https://www.mvphealthcare.com/provider/documents/CPT_Codes_FINAL_VT_PandQ.pdf

Note – There can be multiple codes used to describe one procedure.

If anyone is interested in a long (not very interesting) read about CPT codes – click here.
