I have 2 procedures that started out as arthroscopic and converted to open. ICD9 had a conversion code that I could use to show that it went to an open case. Not seeing conversion code in ICD10. If there is no code available I was thinking of just coding the open first then arthroscopic as I normally did with no ICD10. Would this be the correct thing to do?? Thank you in advance for your help.
 
You are correct, no conversion code in ICD10. Are you coding the pxs in ICD10 PCS? If so, you will code the arthroscopic portion to inspection and then code the open px too.
