About B226YZZ
B226YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a computerized tomography (CT scan) procedure on the heart, right and left using an other contrast 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 B221YZZ (coronary arteries, multiple) and B223YZZ (coronary artery bypass grafts, multiple).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded B2260ZZ (high osmolar), B2261ZZ (low osmolar) and B226ZZZ (none).
With a different device, use B226Y0Z (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.
