Guideline Alert
Bypass procedures are coded by identifying the body part bypassed “from” and the body part bypassed “to”. The fourth character body part specifies the body part bypassed from, and the qualifier specifies the body part bypassed to. Example: Bypass from stomach to jejunum,
stomach is the body part and jejunum is the qualifier.

PCS Guideline Alert
PCS contains specific body parts for anatomical subdivisions of a body part, such as lobes of the lungs or liver and regions of the intestines. Resection of the specific body part is coded whenever all of the body part is cut out or off, rather than coding Excision of a less specific body part.
