About B00BYZZ

B00BYZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the spinal cord using an other contrast approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, plain radiography means planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate.

In plain terms, this corresponds to contrast myelogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.21).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B00B0ZZ (high osmolar), B00B1ZZ (low osmolar) and B00BZZZ (none).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
