\end{tabular}

Part 2 - C: ICD-10-PCS Coding

State the root operation term for each definition. Record your answers in the "Root Operation" section:



Answer :

Certainly! Let's go through each part step by step.

### Part 2 - B: True or False Statements

1. Medical and surgical procedure codes have a first character of 0:
- This statement is True because medical and surgical sections start with '0'.

2. T22.011A is a valid ICD-10-PCS code:
- This statement is False because T22.011A is an ICD-10-CM code, not an ICD-10-PCS code.

3. The character "8" is used as a value for Via Natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach:
- This statement is True as '8' indicates the endoscopic approach via natural or artificial openings.

4. The number "3" represents the section for Administration:
- This statement is True because the number '3' represents the Administration section.

5. The first three characters of a code define the table:
- This statement is True because the first three characters define the specific table in which the rest of the code is located.

Here is the filled table:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{ ICD-10-PCS Statement } & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{True or False} \\ \hline 8. Medical and surgical procedure codes have a first character of 0 & \textbf{True} \\ \hline 9. T22.011A is a valid ICD-10-PCS code & \textbf{False} \\ \hline \begin{tabular}{l} 10. The character "8" is used as a value for Via Natural or artificial\\ opening endoscopic approach \end{tabular} & \textbf{True} \\ \hline 11. The number "3" represents the section for Administration & \textbf{True} \\ \hline 12. The first three characters of a code define the table & \textbf{True} \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

### Part 2 - C: Root Operation Terms

Match each definition to the correct root operation term:

1. Excision: Cutting out/off without replacement a portion of a body part.
2. Resection: Cutting out/off without replacement all of a body part.
3. Insertion: Putting in a non-biological device.
4. Drainage: Taking/letting out fluids and/or gases.
5. Transplantation: Putting in a living body part from a person or animal.

Here is the filled table for the root operations:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Definition} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Root Operation} \\ \hline Cutting out/off without replacement a portion of a body part & \textbf{Excision} \\ \hline Cutting out/off without replacement all of a body part & \textbf{Resection} \\ \hline Putting in a non-biological device & \textbf{Insertion} \\ \hline Taking/letting out fluids and/or gases & \textbf{Drainage} \\ \hline Putting in a living body part from a person or animal & \textbf{Transplantation} \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

By following these steps methodically, we arrive at the correct True or False answers for Part 2 - B and the correct root operation terms for Part 2 - C.
