About B030YZZ
B030YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure on the brain using an other contrast approach with none (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 B039YZZ (sella turcica/pituitary gland), B03BYZZ (spinal cord) and B03CYZZ (acoustic nerves).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded B030ZZZ (none).
With a different device, use B030Y0Z (unenhanced and enhanced).
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 B030YZZ
Is B030YZZ a valid ICD-10-PCS code for 2027?
- Yes. B030YZZ is valid for inpatient procedures from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What is the ICD-9 procedure code for B030YZZ?
- The CMS GEMs map B030YZZ to ICD-9-CM 88.91 (Magnetic resonance imaging of brain and brain stem) and 88.96 (Other intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging).
