What are the nine Medical & Surgical Procedure sections?
Placement Section 11
Includes only those procedures that are preformed without making an incision or puncture
Placement Section has only two body system 11 (character 2) values in this section
Anatomical regions (W)
Anatomical orifices (Y)
Placement Section has only two anatomical 11
regions (character 4) values
external body regions e.g., abdominal wall
natural orifices e.g., ear
Seven root operations (third character) in 11
the Placement Section ~ Five operations are unique to the placement section
0) Change
1) Compression
2) Dressing
3) Immobilization
4) Packing
5) Removal
6) Traction
0 )Change 11
Taking out or off a device from a body region and putting back an identical or similar device in or on the same body region without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane
1) Compression 11
Putting pressure on a body region
2) Dressing 11
Putting material on a body region for protection
3) Immobilization 11
Limiting or preventing motion of a body region
4)Packing 11
Putting material in a body region
5) Removal 11
Taking out or off a device from a body region
6) Traction 11
Exerting a pulling force on a body region in a distal direction.
Administration Section includes: 11
injections, infusions, transfusions as well as related procedures such as irrigation and tattooing.
Three body systems (character 3)values in 11
in the administration section:
0 Circulatory
C Indwelling device
E Physiological systems and anatomical regions
Three root operations in the Administration 11
Section; they are classified according to the broad category of substances administered
Blood products are classified to the root operation "transfusion"
Cleansing substances as "irrigation"
Therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substances are classified as "introduction"
Measurement 11
A single level taken at a point in time
Monitoring 11
A series of tests performed repetitively over a period of time.
Extracorporeal Assistance and Performance 11 Section includes:
Procedures that use equipment to support a physiological function such as breathing (e.g., mechanical ventilation), circulating the blood, (e.g., hemodialysis), or restoring the natural rhythm of the heart (e.g., cardioversion)
Restoration 11
Returning and attempting to return
Ten root operations in the Extracorporeal 11
therapies Section
Atmospheric control, decompression, electromagnetic therapy, hyperthermia, hypothermia, pheresis, phototherapy, ultrasound therapy, ultraviolet light therapy, shockwave therapy
Atmospheric control 11
Extracorporeal control of atmospheric pressure and composition
Decompression 11
Extracorporeal elimination of undissolved gas from body fluids
Electromagnetic therapy 11
Extracorporeal treatment by electromagnetic rays
Hyperthermia 11
Extracorporeal raising of temperature
Hypothermia 11
Extracorporeal lowering of body temperature
Pheresis 11
Extracoeporeal separation of blood products
Phototherapy 11
Extraxorporeal treatment by light rays
Ultrasound Therapy 11
Extracorporeal treatment by ultrasound
Ultraviolet Therapy 11
Extracoporeal treatment by ultraviolet light
Shock wave therapy 11
Extracoporeal treatment by shock waves
Other Procedures 11
Methodologies that attempt to remediate or cure a disorder of disease. e.g., acupuncture, meditation, computer assisted procedures, in-vitro fertilization
Chiropractic Section: 11
Manipulation
A manual procedure that involves a directed thrust to move a joint past the physiological range of motion without exceeding the anatomical limits
Ancillary Procedures ~ six sections 11

Imaging Section utilizes five root types 11
Value 0 Plain radiography
Value 1 Fluoroscopy
Value 2 Computed Tomography (CT)
Value 3 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Value 4 Ultrasonaography
Plain radiography 11
Planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic per photoconductive plates
Flouroscopy 11
Single plane or biplane real-time display of an image developed from the capture of ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen
Computed Tomography (CT) 11 `
Computer reformatted digital-display of multi-planar images developed from the capture of multi- exposures of external ionizing radiation
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) 11
Computer-reformatted digital display of multi-planar images developed from nuclei on a body site excited within a magnetic field.
Ultrasonography 11
Real-time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high-frequency sound waves.
