Page 57 Coding note revised The coding note was revised as shown below: Coding note: body system value
For procedures involving transfer of tissue layers such as skin, fascia and muscle, the procedure is coded to the body system value that describes the deepest tissue layer in the flap. When the tissue transferred is composed of more than one tissue layer, the qualifier can be used to describe the other tissue layers, if any, being transferred. For transfer procedures classified to other body systems such as peripheral nervous system, the body part value specifies the body part that is the source of the transfer (“from”). Where qualifiers are available, they specify the destination of the transfer (“to”).
