Wiki I10-PCS or CPT?

[AmandaW]

I'm wondering if my urology practice should be using I10-PCS procedure codes instead of CPT when they are doing a surgery over at the hospital and the patient is in an inpatient status? Or the CPT procedure codes b/c we are a clinic and our Dr's NPI numbers are connected to the clinic-they are not employees of the hospital.

ICD-10 PCS codes are for by the facility coder not the physician coder. Coding for the physician claim you always use CPT codes

That's definitely what I've always done and thought but this was presented to me recently and made me pause JUST for a second!!
Thank you!
