The ICD-10-CM code for an elevated PSA level is R97.2. Since the pathology results of the biopsy are negative for malignancy, you would also code for the biopsy procedure itself, which is typically represented by Z01.818 for an encounter for other specified procedures. Therefore, the appropriate codes would be R97.2 and Z01.818 for this scenario.
