General Notes

Clinical Classifications Software (CCS) consists of 231 procedure categories. All ICD-10-CM procedure codes are classified. PRCCSn is coded as follows: 1 to 231 if the procedure code (I10_PRn) is valid by the HCUP criteria. The HCUP criteria for procedure validation allows a year window (six months before and six months after) around the official ICD-10-PCS coding changes (usually October 1), for anticipation of or lags in response to official ICD-10-PCS coding changes. I10_PRCCSn is missing (.), if there is no procedure code (I10_PRn = " "). I10_PRCCSn is set to invalid (.A), if the procedure code (I10_PRn) is invalid by the HCUP criteria (EPR02). I10_PRCCSn is set to inconsistent (.C), if the procedure code (I10_PRn) is inconsistent with age (EAGE05) or sex of the patient (EPR03). For data prior to the fourth quarter of 2015, the procedure CCS is stored in the data element PRCCSn to indicate the use of the ICD-9-CM coding system. In HCUP databases before 1998, this data element is called PCCHPRn.Labels Labels for CCS categories are provided as an ASCII file in HCUP Tools: Labels and Formats. Formats Formats to label CCS categories are documented in HCUP Tools: Labels and Formats. A format is also available to map CCS codes into a few broad classes of conditions based on ICD-9-CM chapters.
