Although many of the ICD-10-CM (diagnosis) codes do not have groupings that reach the allowable seventh character, ALL ICD-10-PCS (procedure) codes do.
ICD-10-PCS has been designed to generate codes on a character by character basis, with consistent groupings assigned to each character.
This provides opportunity for users to see how codes are built via our unique ICD-10-PCS Code Builderâ„¢ tool.
Note the yellow pathway marking the choices the user has made thus far.
To finish building this code, the user simply clicks on the appropriate 7th character value.
