ICD10 Procedure Description (long) generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The ICD10 Procedure Description (long) generator creates the full-length textual descriptions associated with ICD-10-PCS (Procedure Coding System) codes. These describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures performed in inpatient settings, aligning with the ICD-10 framework.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
ICD10 Proc Desc (long)	Alteration of Bilateral Breast with Synthetic Substitute; …	character varyingcharactertext	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column whose name starts with ‘ICD10’, then goes ‘Proc’ or ‘Prc’, preceded or followed by any or no characters, and ends with ‘Desc’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.

The Text box contains a .csv file that stores information about diagnosis codes. The default path to the file is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Devart\dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL\Data Generators\ICD10ProcedureCodes.csv[1].
