About B2261ZZ

B2261ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the heart, right and left using a low osmolar approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, computerized tomography (CT scan) means computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation.

In plain terms, this corresponds to computerized axial tomography of thorax, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.41).

For a different body part, codes include B2211ZZ (coronary arteries, multiple) and B2231ZZ (coronary artery bypass grafts, multiple).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded B2260ZZ (high osmolar), B226YZZ (other contrast) and B226ZZZ (none).

With a different device, use B22610Z (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.
