ICD-10-PCS Expert Spiral 2026

The ICD-10-PCS Expert 2026 is Optum’s spiral bound version of ICD-10-PCS code set updated for 2026, with all the supplementary appendixes required for reporting inpatient procedures. In addition, you will find the familiar Optum coding and reimbursement alerts you have come to rely upon, including the Medicare Code Edits (MCE) for the ICD-10 MS-DRG reimbursement system.

Intuitively organized into sections of code tables and supplementary definitions tables and device and body part keys, the Optum ICD-10-PCS code book sets the standard for coding accuracy, which is the cornerstone of healthcare analytics and revenue cycle management.

Exclusive Optum Edge features found in this ICD-10-PCS code book:

• Optum Edge — Color-coding and symbols for Medicare Code Edits. — Includes Optum’s hallmark color-coding and symbols identifying ICD-10 MS-DRG MCEs for non-covered procedures, limited coverage procedures, combination only procedures, non-operating room procedures affecting MS-DRG assignment, non-operating room procedures NOT affecting MS-DRG assignment, hospital acquired condition (HAC) related procedures, and new technology add-on payment (NTAP).

Additional features and benefits of ICD-10-PCS Expert include:
