What is the ICD-10 code for performed as a separate procedure a parietal pleurectomy for pleurisy with bacterial nontuberculous effusion?

Answer 1

The ICD-10 code for pleurisy with bacterial nontuberculous effusion is J90, which specifically refers to "Pleural effusion, not elsewhere classified." However, for the procedure of parietal pleurectomy performed as a separate procedure, you would typically need to refer to the appropriate CPT code for surgical procedures, as ICD-10 codes primarily classify diagnoses rather than procedures. Always consult the latest coding guidelines or a coding specialist for the most accurate and specific coding.
