Templat:ICD10PCS/doc

The goal of the template is to directly link the ICD-10-PCS lookup service on the ICD10data.com website with the medical intervention infobox.

Parameters

There are two parameters to this template. The first parameter sets the code, the second helps parse the link for the lookup site.

Full code

When pointing to a complete 7 character code; the second parameter is optional:

{{ICD10PCS|code|character1/character2/character3/character4}}

and

{{ICD10PCS|code}}

will both work, as the ICD10data.com website will correctly parse the link from the full code.

Partial code

If only characters 1 through 4 are needed to be linked to; only one parameter is needed:

{{ICD10PCS|code}}

as the ICD10data.com website will correctly parse the link from this set of partial codes.

However, it is not possible to link directly to 5th and 6th level of characters. To display codes at these levels in the medical intervention infobox, both parameters are needed:

{{ICD10PCS|code|character1/character2/character3/character4}}

(This effectively links to the 4th character level.)

Examples of use

The ICD-10-PCS code F13Z00Z is for "Hearing Screening Assessment using Occupational Hearing Equipment". In that case, the ICD10data.com website URL will look as follows:

• http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10PCS/Codes/F/1/3/Z/F13Z00Z

Using this, see how the external link handles the data sent by the template in the following examples:

• F13Z00Z: {{ICD10PCS|F13Z00Z}}: [1]
• F13Z00Z: {{ICD10PCS|F13Z00Z|F/1/3/Z}}: [2]

Other examples:

• B845ZZZ: {{ICD10PCS|B845ZZZ }}: [3]
• 0213: {{ICD10PCS|0213}}: [4]
• 02130: {{ICD10PCS|02130|0/2/1/3}}: [5]
• 0TF3: {{ICD10PCS|0TF3}}: [6]
• 0TF30: {{ICD10PCS|0TF30|0/T/F/3}}: [7]
• 0TF30ZZ: {{ICD10PCS|0TF30ZZ}}: [8]
