I think that is correct, but I’m not sure if we should query the physician to find out if the physician considers the procedure an excision. If you crosswalk the ICD-9-CM Level 3 code to ICD-10-PCS, it maps to a resection. The coder coded the following record to total ostectomy-rib. I don’t understand if taking one rib is considered a resection or an excision and why. Q: I am unsure how “ribs” are categorized in ICD-10.
