About B030Y0Z

B030Y0Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the brain using an other contrast approach with unenhanced and enhanced (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radiofrequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field.

In plain terms, this corresponds to magnetic resonance imaging of brain and brain stem and other intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (88.91 and 88.96).

For a different body part, codes include B039Y0Z (sella turcica/pituitary gland), B03BY0Z (spinal cord) and B03CY0Z (acoustic nerves).

With a different device, use B030YZZ (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.

Common questions about B030Y0Z

Is B030Y0Z a valid ICD-10-PCS code for 2027?

Yes. B030Y0Z is valid for inpatient procedures from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What is the ICD-9 procedure code for B030Y0Z?

The CMS GEMs map B030Y0Z to ICD-9-CM 88.91 (Magnetic resonance imaging of brain and brain stem) and 88.96 (Other intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging).
