Answer 1

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is responsible for the development and maintenance of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS). This system is used primarily in the United States for coding inpatient hospital procedures. The CMS collaborates with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to ensure the coding system remains updated and relevant for healthcare documentation and billing.
