oyce Morgan has just started working as a Medical Assistant for a group of Gastroenterologists. She is unsure why she needs to know and use root operation codes and asks you to explain what they mean and why there are so many to choose from, and why she needs to use them.
Homework Answers
Root operation is the third character of the ICD-10-PCS code. Root operation is necessary to specify the nature of the procedure. There are totally 31 root operations such as excision, detachment, drainage, resection, destruction, transplantation, occlusion, dilatation, removal, and so on. These root operations are classified into groups based on the involvement of body parts, taking out of solid, liquid from the body part, cutting or taking out of body part, altering of diameter or route, use of devices, repairing of a specific part, etc. The gastrointestinal system deals with different types of procedures. The selection of appropriate root operations is necessary for the appropriate coding of the system. A deep understanding of the coding system helps for proper coding of data.
