International Classification of Diseases Procedure Code System, 10th Revision

Acronym: ICD-10-PCS

ICD-10-PCS is for use in U.S. inpatient hospital settings only for procedures. Inpatient procedure coding with ICD-10-PCS uses 7 alphanumeric digits instead of the 3 or 4 numeric digits used for ICD-9-CM procedures. Coding with ICD-10-PCS is much more specific and substantially different from ICD-9-CM procedure coding.
